Ignatian Discernment

Ignatian discernment is a process developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola that helps individuals make choices aligned with their values and spiritual beliefs. It encourages deep reflection on one's feelings, thoughts, and experiences in light of God’s presence. The process involves prayer, contemplation, and evaluating the fruits of decisions—assessing whether they lead to peace and fulfillment. By discerning the movements of the heart, one can better recognize the direction that supports personal growth and purpose, ultimately fostering a deeper relationship with oneself and the divine.
