St. Ignatius’ Discernment of Spirits Explained in 90 Seconds
What is discernment of spirits and why does it matter?
St. Ignatius of Loyola — the founder of the Jesuits — gave the Church one of the most practical tools for spiritual growth: a way to discern whether the inspirations we feel are coming from God, the enemy, or ourselves.
In this animated video, “Ignatius” himself explains:
✅ The three sources of our thoughts and inspirations
✅ How to recognize consolation (movements toward God)
✅ How to recognize desolation (movements away from God)
✅ The three key steps: Be Aware, Understand, Take Action
✅ Why this practice will bring you closer to God and protect you from the enemy
