Discernment in Everyday Life

A Discernment of Spirits Retreat – learn how to discern God’s Will in our daily life

In our daily walk with God, our hearts desire is to “seek and find the Divine Will”. There is profound peace and spiritual truth in the discernment of spirits in our daily life. Are you struggling to discern God’s Will, not just in the big decisions you face, but in the small decisions you encounter every day? Discerning which promptings are from God and the ones that are not, is critical when we desire to live the “Divine Will” in our daily life. Using St. Ignatius’s Discernment of Spirits, we can learn how to seek God in all things. This allows us and those in our lives to receive the good fruit of solid discernment. Whether you desire to discern God’s Will in important decisions that are in today’s activities, this week, this year, or the years to come, pause and listen to see the tools Ignatius gives us and what discernment of spirits offers for you in your life journey with God.
