Description

Wow. This was a remarkable episode. John Paul Meenan , professor at Seat of Wisdom Catholic College in Ontario, joins me (and enlightens me…) on the process of discernment - good decision making. We make decision, big and small, every day.  One of the things I've found about the Christian life, is: how do we know if we're making the right decision?  How do we discern what's right for our family, and how to guide our young people to right decisions? 1:00 - The impact of social media on dialogue 5:08 - Vocational discernment and discernment in everyday life decisions 14:45 - How to discern - practically speaking 24:04 - How do we know when we are working within the framework of reason? 28:14 - What is the role of intuition in discernment?40:35 - What do we do while we're waiting for God's guidance? 46:51 - The need for silence49:41 - Everyone is given sufficient grace to go to Heavenhttps://catholicinsight.comwww.seatofwisdom.cahttps://www.catholicworldreport.com/2021/10/10/the-limits-of-science-and-the-freedom-to-make-moral-choices/https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/1985/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_31031985_dilecti-amici.html
