How often do we jump to say "yes" or "no" to an important decision without discerning whether it's God's will? Fr Columba believes this type of discernment is how to take our lives as Christians to the next level - and provides lots of practical advice, based on his own experience and the wisdom of St Ignatius, about how to do so.

I’ve been doing the Jonah discernment method, which is where God tells pretty clearly what he wants you to do, and then you go “well, I’m not doing THAT” and you go do something else, suffer many painful misadventures, as God gradually forces you to do what he told you in the first place, and then you get mad at him when his plan works out better than yours, and then he patiently points out you should be really grateful he didn’t just kill everybody and be done with all our sinning race, and then you thank him.

Dear Fr Columba, I thank you. You have laid out the steps so clearly and simply. I love St Ignatius’ rules of discernment but sometimes I tend to juggle them. I fall mostly when I am confronted with fears, apprehensions, doubts and confusions. I tend to go back to discerning it again and again until I get so tired and get discouraged at times. Well, I know this is where the enemy is attacking me since he knows this is where I’m weak. My way can be all over the place but yours is done systematically. I had instant peace while listening to this episode. Praise Jesus! Thank you! This has been massively helpful ❤

I have that warmth around my heart when I'm praying, saying the Rosary. But sometimes (a lot) when I get distracted it shuts down immediately. I don't get upset, but I know that He is giving me that reminder, so I can begin again. No one that I know has had this experience; and Father, I even feel it as I type this comment. Thanks so much for helping me to understanding what is happening.

Hi father, Columba yes very helpful from the bottom of my heart. I’d like to thank you for such a clear explanation, I never been the brightest person in the room but the way he expressed yourself makes it so easy for a guy like me to understand even though I must admit I’m a sinner and I’m a coward because I can practice what you just told us, but sometimes I choose not to because I want to do my will anyways like I said before I’m working my way towards Jesus little by little thank you father God bless and God bless you brothers and sisters

No kidding. I say my prayers but I guess I just have always had an issue of 30 minutes a day or better. I’ve tended to find God or at least belief through the intellect and not the heart. So this is a hard one for me. I’ve done my best to teach my daughter to find God through her heart because she is so young. I never had that blessing. I think it’s the easier path and seems like this is the way for discernment. Just my overall thoughts here.
@kategosnell8210
@kategosnell8210 Год назад
More than prayer, invite Christ, The Blessed Trinity into each moment of your life. When you're enjoying a meal, share it with Jesus. When you're watching a movie, share it with Jesus. Me, I like listening to music and sometimes I 'post' the Love song to Jesus with My Heart and Soul + You can make work a prayer, pain a prayer, anything a prayer - as long as you unite it to Jesus. Keep it Simple and Authentic 🌹

Thank you so much. Best video on discernment that I’ve watched since my conversion in 2015. And I’ve watched and read the lot. Through this video I realised why I have been yo-yoing on my vocational discernment - I had never reached that point of holy indifference like you described. I just followed your exercise this morning, with the words, “In Christ is Everything” and I finally have an answer I will stick to, with God’s grace. Please pray for me!

Can’t elaborate enough, this one Fr Columba was a slam dunk. Been hovering around the neighborhood of getting on the good-better plane and I see your video, kept saying to myself ‘it’s 10 minutes long’ no time…then after Mass tonight I had the Grace to see this is exactly for me in this moment….speechless, because these moments of pure joy in my good-better plane are the perfect foundation to know the rudiments of DISCERNMENT. Thank you Fr Columba…your friend St Ninian. :)

Thank you for this video. It really helped me understand discernment better, and also how to talk to God about it. It surprised me to realize I had actually been praying about discernment according to your video description. It was an amazing feeling just knowing God was really telling me what his plans for me are and although I should be terrified because they are major changes that would naturally cause anyone to be nervous, worried, and a bit scared, I am a little nervous because I'm not great about change, but I am actually a little excited and ready for this adventure although I haven't much ideas what I am going to be doing. I DO know, deep in my heart, it is what God has discerned me to do. Thank you also for allowing me to share. It feels amazing to really feel that God is leading me on this journey. God bless you for all you are doing to share the faith.

The movements of the heart… I remember this movie with an old time actor Leslie Nielsen carrying his future bride into his home saying “ lord if I shouldn’t do this just give me a sign” immediately followed by audible “no” “no” and the masonry of the house splitting down the middle… followed by him walking in and saying “thank you”😂. How many times do we disregard our heart’s movements in favour of social pressure or other movements… Thank you brother for reminding us on how we should tune into this subtle channel prone to interference, static and downright piracy.

1) Ask Jesus to make it really simple for you to know what he wants . 2) Get some Holy indifference to the thing you are asking about (Its up to you Lord- whatever you want). He prays for one thing he wants discernment on each day. Give thanksgiving about other times he gave you discernment. The devil wants to discourage you in asking and waiting. Ask for holy indifference as to the answer you get.. Theres more, but thats as far as i got ... Have to listen again to get the rest ...

So glad it was helpful. Funny you should mention that, we just discussed a series of episodes specifically looking at discerning the various vocations in the Church. Great minds think alike!

These practices are very helpful for receiving such graces. Thanks for sharing your wisdom vis-a-vis RU-vid. There is a way of asking for confirmation 3 times, especially when discerning decisions of great concern or consequence, it has been suggested. However, it seems possible that trusting is critically important even then.

With the grace of God, i am going to do this! I have done similar things, not so well prepared, and the Lord will confirm things for me during the course of the days or weeks that follow, Bam! I just know my prayer has been answered, but i never thought to expect the movement of my heart to receive confirmation so quickly, but of course you are right, God can speak to me always!!!!! Thanks so much I have already got 4 things on my list! I will let you know how it goes😊🙏 blessings and prayers

@@ctmcatholic Hello father, i know this is a long message. If you don't have time to read it all please please go the the bottom because I have an important question...so its going pretty well. The first 2 days were no shows... i just was not able to be focused in prayer... eventually i remembered what you mentioned about spiritual combat, i re listened to your vidéo, and wrote down the steps you gave us...bingo ... the 3rd day, praying at home, i prepared and asked and i didn't feel anything... so its probably a no, or i could have not been focused. Today I had the grace of being in adoration, i prepared and asked the Lord if he wanted me to do a ministry of parish renewal...so amazing, first big lesson was it is way easier to have Holy detachment if you havent already talked about doing something to others BEFORE talking it over with Jesus....to be fair I did believe the idea came from Jesus to start with and I had not yet seen your video on discernement. In the future discern first!!! So once Jesus had given me the grace of Holy detachment I asked my question...rather than reciving consolation, i started reciving the feeling that i needed to commit to prayer. Fair call. I chose to commit to a least 1/2 a day of which at least 3 times a week would be infront of the tabernacle. Then I felt that the Lord was telling me to let go of this ministry until my priest reached out to me. (I had already emailed the priest about the ministry idea, he had said " i will get in contact with you," but he had not yet). So I did let it go... it was a huge relife...anyway after mass i went to our Lady and was late comming out of the church, i saw my priest looking around for me, worried i had already left. He wanted to speak to me about the ministry !!! I felt a kind of consolation in that moment and later when the priest said he had had the same/similar idea himself. So big thanks to you !!! We are starting a parish group to create opportunities for people to deepen thier spirituality. I feel that having a relationship with Jesus is what sets me on fire...I am looking for a book or a teaching or a retreat that we as a parish can work through together, that might guide us into a deeper relationship with Jesus ... do you have any suggestions ? Thanks so much for your prayers, your sharing and your faith... bless you !

Father, what if we made a decision before we knew about consolation and desolation? What if now we realize (after the fact) that we were feeling some consolation, but we were sabotaged with intrusive thoughts (probably ol' red legs!) and made a decision that we realize was maybe not God's will (though nothing sinful)? Should WE try to take action to reverse the decision? or is it best to leave it in God's hands and wait for His consolation to move us to act again? Can we make the right decision and still feel desolation after having made the decision (at least initially)? Thank you for all your content, and for all you do! You are always in my prayers! 🙏🏼
