Win the War For Your Thoughts

by Dan Burke

 

Dear Friend,

July 31 is a big day in the Church: it is the feast of the founder of the Jesuits, the author of The Spiritual Exercises, and the master of discernment, St. Ignatius of Loyola.

This year, it is also a big day for the Avila Foundation.

On July 31, the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, we are launching the video series based on my best-selling book and retreat, Spiritual Warfare and Discernment of Spirits.

For years I have traveled the world teaching the wisdom from St. Ignatius that changed my life: Some of the thoughts in your head are not your own and you shouldn’t listen to them.

This single sentence can change everything. It can set you free. Break chains. Open doors—and even more, open your eyes.

You know that there are battles all around us. But did you know about the battle in—and for—your mind?

Every Catholic needs to know about the war in their thoughts and be given the means to fight back.

In this free, professionally filmed video series, I’ve taken the Ignatian Rules for Discernment of Spirits, explained them, revealed their power in my own life, and applied them for your use, to “take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor 10:5).

And because I want to share more with you about this incredible resource, I’ve asked Fr. Timothy Gallagher, O.M.V, the foremost writer and retreat leader on Ignatian spirituality and discernment, to join me for a webinar on Discernment of Spirits on the evening of the launch.

  • Hear how we each came to discover the richness of Ignatius’ insights.
  • Learn about the battles fought and won when applied in our lives.
  • Discover how individuals and groups around the world are discovering freedom and peace.
  • Get your questions about Ignatian Discernment of Spirits answered live.
  • Find out how you can instantly access the series and take a deep dive into these rules and their application to your life!

This exclusive Avila event takes place at 7:00 pm on July 31. Register now and save your seat!

Looking forward to seeing you then.

St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us!

Yours in Him,

Dan Burke
