LA DIREZIONE SPIRITUALE E IL DISCERNIMENTO UN CAMMINO PER CERCARE, TROVARE E FARE LA VOLONTÀ DI DIO
SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE AND DISCERNMENT. A WAY FOR SEEKING, FINDING AND DOING THE WILL OF GOD

Summary/Abstract: Spiritual Guidance and Discernment. A Way for Seeking, Finding and Doing the Will of God. The present study represents a fundamentally new and fresh approach to a classical theme of Christian spiritual theology: spiritual direction and qualities of the spiritual discernment which accompanies it. After introducing an analysis of the crisis situation in which the office of spiritual counselling finds itself at present, the author – specialist in exercises-spiritual – individualizes some signs of a useful rediscovery of this traditional means of sustaining on the way of spiritual perfection, particularly in Theological Seminaries. At the conclusion of the article, the author originally interprets the annotations specific to exercises spiritual of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, suggesting bringing them up-to-date within the context of the present time.
