Currently reading: Discernment by Henri J. M. Nouwen 📚

Discernment allows us to “see through” the appearance of things to their deeper meaning and come to know the interworkings of God’s love and our unique place in the world. Discernment helps us come to know our true identity in creation, vocation in the world, and unique place in history as an expression of divine love. Perceiving, seeing through, understanding, and being aware of God’s presence are what is meant by discernment. Opening the heart to what is really and truly “there” is a fruit of contemplation and spiritual practice.
