Thinking Like a Saint: Discernment of Spirits in the Catholic Tradition
A rich exploration of discernment rooted in the wisdom of the saints.
This book places St. Ignatius of Loyola’s fourteen rules for the discernment of spirits within the broader tradition of Christian holiness. Each chapter begins with a clear explanation of a specific rule, followed by a deeper reflection drawn from the writings of saints and spiritual masters across the centuries.
Figures such as St. Augustine, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux echo and illuminate the same spiritual realities Ignatius describes. Their insights help expand and enrich the often concise language of the rules, making them more accessible and relatable for everyday life.
By connecting Ignatius’s teaching to the wider tradition, this book reveals that the spiritual experiences he describes are universal to the life of discipleship. It offers both clarity and encouragement, guiding readers to better understand the movements of their hearts and to grow in faithful, confident discernment.
