So much about our contemporary living can distract and disorient us, making it difficult to grow in the spiritual life, or even to cling to one’s beliefs and practices with an inner conviction that fills the heart. Enter the true art of discernment: more than simply a tool for making decisions or a method for mastering God’s will, discernment is a process by which we learn how to remain in Christ, taking on his stance toward life, allowing him to inspire and direct our everyday choices. Precisely because it is an art of communication between persons, discernment cannot be reduced to a psychological technique for running our spiritual lives; rather, it is rooted in relationship.

Jesuit priest Marko Ivan Rupnik blends the wisdom of ancient church fathers collected in the volumes of the Philokalia with the keen insights of Renaissance giant, Ignatius of Loyola, liberally sprinkling in present day examples. The result is a book of spirituality both eminently practical and lyrically enticing.

Discernment: Acquiring the Heart of God

By Mary

from Baltimore on November 17, 2008

Pros:

Edifying

Cons:

Informative

Best Uses:

Spiritual Formation

Describe Yourself:

Spiritual Neophyte

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From the standpoint of someone who has barely started on the road to spritual maturity, this book is showing me how far I have to go. As an RCIA presenter, I'm going to have to condense the rich content of this book into a discussion that will both inform and inspire my newly Catholic audeince next spring.
