God constantly creates and imparts God’s Spirit to us. Ignatian discernment names a process by which one makes choices to live in the light of God’s Spirit. In the process of Ignatian discernment God is a partner in a person’s or a group’s choice. Divine desires for creation are revealed in Jesus, the Word of God, in Christian tradition and in the life of each person. This last self-communication of God is felt as one’s abiding desires.

Testimonies –

  • “I learned the importance of articulating my desires and considering them. My desires are God’s way of telling me who I am. I also learned to always to be listening, patient, and prayerful…thinking about the different ways God might be speaking to me.” –2018
  • “Loved sharing with my group; listening and thinking and reflecting and gently caring for each other.” –2019
  • “I did not expect the emphasis on feelings and connecting feelings with discernment. I’m mostly a thinking person, usually dealing with quantitative data at work. So the concept of feelings are data for discernment leaves me with a lot to reflect.” –2019

Facilitators –

Paul Panaretos is a Jesuit Spiritual Director on the Staff of Loyola Retreat House. Joe Waters is one of its regular Guest Spiritual Directors. Together they redesigned Finding Your Way with these outcomes:

  • To notice God’s life in you experienced as your deep desires
  • To grow more discerning in all your choosing, especially, important choices
  • To welcome God to decide with you: to align your desires with God’s desires for you
