Episode 1 – Introduction – The Second Week Rules for the Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide to a Greater Discernment of Spirits with Fr. Timothy Gallagher
What does God want for our lives? How can we assess when feelings, even pleasant ones, are signs that God is calling us in a particular direction? Fr. Gallagher introduces us to the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola on this crucial question.
Through a series of compelling conference talks, Fr. Gallagher carefully breaks open St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Second Week Rules for Greater Discernment. This set of 8 “rules” (or guidelines) helps us to discern whether a seemingly good, noble, holy idea or feeling, often understood as a “spiritual consolation,” could be a working of the enemy intending to lead us astray. He shows how all of us can learn to listen to and follow God’s gentle leading in our daily lives.
This series is based on Spiritual Consolation by Fr. Timothy Gallagher
