Discerning Spirits

One of the most important parts of growth in the spiritual life is to be able to discern God's will and, likewise, discern what is not of God. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains the discernment of spirits using the time-tested technique of Ignatian Spirituality. Then meet Fr. Richard Shuaibu who shares his courageous story of discerning God's will when making a life-changing decision.

Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.
