* * * Saints and great spiritual directors on discernment Issued 2011 Anthology compiled by Hieromonk Benedict Stancu It is the Holy Spirit who gives one the gift of “discerning of spirits” (1 Corinthians 12:10) through faith and all other virtues which together concur in evangelical activity; this activity is both carried out by divine grace and man’s free-willed effort. It takes time for man to become acquainted with the spiritual discernment; it is acquired gradually, and only the most advanced ones receive the gift of discerning of spirits, the gift of finding their way, recognizing and clearly distinguishing good and evil in their essence. Discerning of spirits is both the gift of the Holy Spirit and the work of man – which is really an art. (St. Justin Popovich) Format: 13x20 cm; 160 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-221-2 «« back
