How to Listen When God Is Speaking
How do we listen to God speak to our hearts, minds, and wills—especially above the noise and stress of the modern world? What is the process of discerning God’s will? Best-selling author and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, tackles these and other questions in this comprehensive book on discernment. He says that first we need to believe in God and his moral laws and make a commitment to please him in all that we do. Then we need to pray so that we can experience the peace that can come only from God. Fr. Pacwa draws from St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, using plenty of everyday examples as well as stories from Scripture to help clarify his points. He encourages readers to develop a rich prayer life and says we can learn to listen to God’s powerful voice and hear him speaking lovingly to us even when we are suffering in some way. · Confronts modern-day assumptions that can prevent us from being open to God’s will for our lives. · Emphasizes the many ways we can develop our prayer life to nourish an authentic relationship with the Lord.

Learning to Trust from Mary
“She had to learn to trust...” How often do we think of Mary’s trust in the Lord? How often do we imagine what it must’ve been like for her as she accepted the Lord’s invitation to become the mother of Our Savior, as she watched Him grow from child to man, and witnessed the power of His adult ministry ending in His Death and Resurrection? What must have trust been like for her? And how can we live as she did? The Rosary can guide us to this same trust of what Mary herself learned: that when we place everything we have in the hands of the Lord, He will guide us.
