I am truly grateful for this opportunity to access spiritual content as I cautiously strive towards holiness, in a manner as it were made just for me. I stumbled on this website when I was searching for spiritual content during a period of fasting and prayer. Yes, my first encounter was with podcasts of Fr Timothy Gallagher on the discernment principles of St Igantius of Layola. I listened to the complete series. Then moved on to the series on St Therese of Liseaux … and I continue to grow. I am now more aware of my need to grow towards perfection (a tall order) by cautiously drawing myself towards God and away from the world. It is not easy…by the Joy of God’s Grace certainly worth eternity! I beg your pardon for somewhat a long comment…but my heart is joyful because of the new way, God’s way, that it is encountering on my journey to holiness.
I am truly grateful for the content on discerning hearts website. I still have a long way to go; May the good Lord stay with me!
Many blessings to you from a truly grateful heart.
