Product Overview
The “working of the Holy Spirit within the individual Christian consciousness” is the focus of this guide to the principles and the practice of the discernment of spirits described in Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises. Fr. Jules J. Toner, who offered counseling and directed retreats for more than 45 years, helps the reader understand discernment and apply it successfully both on retreat and in daily life. He carefully evaluates the more difficult text in the Exercises and offers a frank treatment of controversial issues such as the existence of good and evil “created spirits.”
