One of the gifts of the Spiritual Exercises is that the retreatant learns about the art and practice of discernment. One of the concrete ways that we practice discernment is through the daily Examen, a practice which helps us be sensitive to our interior life and sift through our reactions so that we may reflect before making a choice.
Fr. Kevin O’Brien, SJ, talks about discernment and the Examen in the video below. O’Brien is the author of The Ignatian Adventure: Experiencing the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius in Daily Life.
