WWW: what went well?


 During Sunday’s homily, Fr. Buckley mentioned that as part of helping those in the St. Vincent de Paul Wellness Center to flourish, he has the participants ask themselves: What went well? And have them list 3 things that went well. Doing this repeatedly has an impact on the person’s whole outlook and disposition.

It appears that it comes from Ignatian examen of consciousness, of 1. What went well? 2 what didn’t go well? 3. What can I do better next time? It affirms the goodness we are and we do, acknowledges the truth about our failings, and is rooted in the hope that we can change.
