Abstract

This project explores the usefulness of St. Ignatius of Loyola's Daily Examen in fostering resilience. A qualitative study analyzes the experiences of young adult, United Methodist hurricane survivors who prayed St. Ignatius' Daily Examen for three weeks. Young adults are largely absent from mainline churches, hence many living in Southwest Louisiana experienced their first hurricane disconnected from spiritual resources churches can foster. The participants' low resilience scores confirm a need for intervention. Worship attendance and a theology of remaining are demonstrated as correlative factors to increased resilience.
