How do I know what God wants for my life? How do I make decisions that I can feel certain are within his will for me? What does discernment even mean? 

Today, Br. Lawrence once again joins Fr. Mark-Mary to discuss how to navigate any decision, whether great or small, with these simple principles for discernment. 

Want more practical guidance for the spiritual life? Fr. Mark-Mary's got you covered.  Check out his book "Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress"
