discernment

Saturday, June 10, 2006
..."To seek and find the will of God in the disposition of one's life." We may suppose that there are times and occasions when one must make a choice of enormous importance. Still, when it comes to remaining faithful to God alone, there are no petty choices. Every single free act is the occasion for encountering God, as every embrace of what the present brings is a new discovery of the work of the Spirit. So discernment is done beginning in the present, be it simple or be it complex. One asks oneself questions that reveal opportunities or mistakes, allowing one to discover in the concreteness of one's life the will of God. - from Ignatian Spirituality By Fr Maurice Giuliani, S.J.
