Discernment of Spirits - Resources

Publié : May-27-2025

Are you looking to become better at discerning God’s will for you? Do you wish to grow deeper in your spiritual life? In recent homilies, Fr. Maderak has spoken about the “Discernment of Spirits”, which were created by St. Ignatius of Loyola. These “rules” are exercises that help one to distinguish what God’s will may be. Fr. Maderak also mentioned a book by Fr. Timothy Gallagher OMV, entitled “The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living”, which sets out the Discernment of Spirits in a comprehensive way. It has been featured in the “Spiritual Reading” section of our website. This book is available for purchase at the back counter or you can order it directly from Amazon.ca at https://a.co/d/gdSEr9c .

This series of videos will walk you through the rules of the Ignatian exercises of discernment as well as give you some background on the Discernment of Spirits. In a world where it can be often difficult to determine what God is asking of us, why not use all the tools provided to us to help us to more clearly hear His voice?
