From the Prologue of Setting the Captives Free: Personal Reflections on Ignatian Discernment of Spirits
Five hundred years ago, Ignatius entered the realm of the heart and crafted a set of guidelines for responding to interior experience, both joyful (spiritual consolation) and discouraging (spiritual desolation), on the spiritual level. These guidelines, when well explained, equip hearers to be aware of, understand the significance of, and take action in response to their spiritual experience. Said differently, they take Christian anthropology-the fact that only in Christ can the human person be understood fully-seriously, and render it operative. When one applies these guidelines, the full Christian understanding of the human person ceases to remain a theological construct and is rendered concretely applicable in daily living. For over three decades, I have seen many apply these guidelines with much fruit.

Today, multiple bone fractures in a leg bone are externally pinned and a rod is placed inside the bone to stabilize the healing. Great danger for blood clots as well. God truly blessed Ignatius' recovery for all our benefit.

So helpful, particularly in contrast to the belief held by many Protestant Christians that only good outcomes, surface cheerfulness, or smiling and being happy all the time is valid evidence that we are "doing Christianity right".

[@milagrosaldeguer636]

Fantastic!!!

Fantastic....I needed this. I look forward to the other parts.

[@Virginiamichele1]

This is so very helpful ~ thank-you!

[@ramildrm1]

the content is excellent but the conversation is like murmuring to themselves rather than proclaiming a great message people need to hear. thank you so much but pls improve the audio. God bless!

[@Mr.mallaer]

The interview format does not work. It should be presented as a medium size explanation of the topic. This two people having conversations wastes a lot of time and the topic is not quite covered.

[@EternalDestiny48]

Lovely but I did not hear enough about what exactly is spiritual desolation? Is it equivalent to the dark night of the soul?

[@DiscerningHearts]

Fr. Gallagher will spend an entire episode dedicated to the issue of the Dark Night and how Spiritual Desolation is something different

[@EternalDestiny48]
