How to Listen When God Is Speaking: A Guide for Modern-day Catholics

How do we listen to God speak to our hearts, minds, and willsâ€”especially above the noise and stress of the modern world? What is the process of discerning Godâ€™s will? Best-selling author and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, tackles these and other questions in this comprehensive book on discernment. He says that first we need to believe in God and his moral laws and make a commitment to please him in all that we do. Then we need to pray so that we can experience the peace that can come only from God.
Fr. Pacwa draws from St. Ignatiusâ€™ Spiritual Exercises, using plenty of everyday examples as well as stories from Scripture to help clarify his points. He encourages readers to develop a rich prayer life and says we can learn to listen to Godâ€™s powerful voice and hear him speaking lovingly to us even when we are suffering in some way.
Confronts modern-day assumptions that can prevent us from being open to Godâ€™s will for our lives.
Emphasizes the many ways we can develop our prayer life to nourish an authentic relationship with the Lord.

Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, is a popular host on the EWTN Catholic television network and founder and president of Ignatius Productions, a Catholic media production apostolate. A respected biblical scholar and speaker, he serves as senior fellow at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. He is fluent in twelve languages and has led more than fifty pilgrimages to holy sites around the world. He resides in Irondale, Alabama.

â€œPractical, clear, personable, and scripturalâ€”everything I love about Fr. Mitch Pacwaâ€™s teaching is here. This book is a glimpse into a great manâ€™s heart as he shares the lessons heâ€™s learned from Godâ€™s word and the Church as well as from the people heâ€™s known. To read this is to learn and grow closer to God.â€
â€”Scott Hahn, professor of theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

"In How to Listen When God Is Speaking, Fr. Mitch Pacwa challenges Catholics to embrace their fundamental vocation: to be a listener. In the best of the Ignatian tradition, he teaches us to hear Godâ€™s voiceâ€”above the noise we encounter each dayâ€”and take it to heart. This book is a real gift for our spiritual lives. I recommend it for all readers." â€”Most Rev. Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York
