With wisdom and common sense, Father Thomas Green engages the topic of spiritual discernment and shows that it is a function of an individual's personal relationship with God. Discernment, he says, is where prayer meets action.

This is one of the better treatments from my younger years on that very Jesuit tradition, the discernment of spirits. A practical application of discernment, to my mind, is the same author's "Darkness in the marketplace" which I also read some time ago and, I think, many would do well to discover
