Day 7 – Conference: Rules of Discernment (Week 1, Part I) – Fr. Peter Trinko

Welcome to Day 7 of the Spiritual Exercises Online! Today we will have a Conference on how we discern the sources of various thoughts we have and how we ought to act in times of consolation and desolation. In addition to today’s handout, you can also find the rules from the Spiritual Exercises book here.

Consultation

A key element of the Spiritual Exercises is the dialogue between the director of the Exercises, and the retreatant (you). This dialogue should consist of but not limited to:

  • Guidance regarding spiritual, practical, or 
  • Religious experiences throughout the exercises (what God moves you to understand)
  • Difficulties & Temptations
  • Not understanding an exercise
  • Significant decisions
