Discernment


"St. Ignatius of Loyola notes that sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness. Until I am absolutely convinced of this I will do everything I can to keep my hands on the controls of my life, because I think I know better than God what I need for my fulfillment."


~ David Benner (quoted in Spiritual Disciplines Handbook by Calhoun, p. 99)
