#25: Discerning the Will of God

Giuliana and Adrianna talk about discerning the will of God. What are the essential steps in the journey of becoming more aware of God’s voice? Which fears can impede our progress? How can we lay the foundation for saying “yes” to our calling in life? And how do we discover what that calling is? Our weekly challenge is to pray for holy indifference (a complete openness to God’s will) in a decision you are currently discerning. And our media recommendation is the song Hopeless Wanderer by Mumford & Sons. Other resources we mention: - A talk that Fr. Giussani gave on vocation: https://english.clonline.org/traces/page-one/witnessing-to-christ-in-the-life-of-everyone - St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises - Fr. Timothy Gallagher’s book “The Discernment of Spirits” - A collection of writings by Blaise Pascal called “Pensées” - Søren Kierkegaard’s book “The Concept of Anxiety” - The Suscipe: www.ignatianspirituality.com/ignatian-prayer/prayers-by-st-ignatius-and-others/suscipe-the-radical-prayer/ - St. Francis de Sales’ book “Introduction to the Devout Life” We’d love to hear from you!
