Discerning Advent - Week 1: Darkness

Ignatian Audio Meditations

Show Notes

Discerning Advent is a four-week Advent series examining Ignatian discernment and decision-making in the light of the Mystery of the Incarnation. Incarnation occurs all the time, even in our decisions. We are in a whirl of confusion and feel like we’re in darkness. Advent is a time of sitting with those raw feelings and emotions because discernment begins with observation.
