Exercises in Gospel Discernment

Exercises are a series of simple, practical steps that invite a deeper relationship with Christ through prayer, reflection, and discernment. They help recognize where everyday choices follow the Gospel — and where the heart resists its call.

Each exercise offers a clear focus, a gentle structure, and concrete actions for growth. Rooted in Scripture, they speak to both mind and soul, guiding thought and intention toward genuine faith.

The exercises can be practiced individually or in a small community. With regular practice, they become a quiet path of transformation — allowing the Gospel to shape daily life and draw the heart closer to Christ.
