Mind Over Matter | Scivias: Episode 24

By: CatholicTV, Duration: 00:00:00, Posted: 11/12/2021

Have you ever heard God’s voice telling you what to do? Though sometimes God does speak with a clear voice or vision, these kinds of experiences are rare. Last episode Fr. Michael discussed how St. Ignatius' discernment of spirits is a helpful tool for discerning a vocation to the priesthood. In this episode we look at St. Ignatius' "third way" of discernment, which is through the mind; the way of logical reasoning. Should I enter seminary? Should I break up with my girlfriend? Should I marry this person? If we invite God in, he can reveal himself and his will even in our rational thoughts as we try to answer questions like these. “Scivias: Know the Ways of the Lord,” is a vocational discernment series produced by the Archdiocese of Boston Vocations Office. Over the course of 27 short episodes, Fr. Michael Zimmerman invites you to explore the depths of your soul, cultivate a deeper prayer life, and take practical actions to discern your vocation.
