Discernment

Spiritual insight and discernment are important aspects of the Christian life. Discernment helps us to distinguish right from wrong and to make wise decisions. In regard to other people’s faults, we should use this discernment before judging or criticising them. Through prayerful discernment we will know how to approach a person to talk about a problem or fault and often by praying for discernment, the fault or problem will become evident to the person concerned without any intervention on our part at all.
