In today’s episode, Sr. Orianne Pietra René and Sr. Julie Benedicta are joined by Sr. Emily Beata in a conversation about discernment, our relationship with the Holy Spirit, the will of God, pitfalls we can fall into, and tips for making a good discernment about big or little things.
Sr. Emily describes discernment as placing ourselves in a space where we can become aware of both internal and external realities so that when we choose, we can choose with God.
The will of God is his greatest act of love for us.
– Blessed James Alberione

It fills me with joy to know you. I can feel the presence of your love.
Thank you for letting me give you myself just as I am.
The more I thank you, the more I find I can give myself to you.
Help me let go of the things I used to place my faith in. All I ask is to be yours. - Judges 6:36–40: Gideon’s fleece
