Discernment will be presented as a growing awareness of the presence and action of God in one's life. It is the centering process at the core of one's daily life and ministry. Tools of discernment are vital in the process of listening to the truth of one's inner self in God as distinct from the myriad false voices from within and without. Ignatian rules for the discernment of spirits are utilized, as well as ancient and contemporary means of self-understanding and self-knowledge. The course draws on spirituality, psychology, and the participants' experience.
