How to Know God’s Will: Making Decisions & Choices (St. Ignatius’ Method)

About this sermon

Are you struggling to know God’s will in your life? In a world obsessed with feelings, the Catholic Church teaches something radically different: we are not here to feel good — we are here to BE good. In this powerful talk, we break down the timeless method of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, on how to make difficult decisions according to God’s will. This is not emotional decision-making. This is discernment rooted in truth, reason, and eternity. You’ll learn: Why your feelings can mislead you The true purpose of your life (according to Catholic teaching) The 6-step method of St. Ignatius for making decisions How to choose based on God’s glory, not comfort What to do when you’ve already made a wrong decision The powerful “deathbed test” for clarity If you’re facing decisions about vocation, marriage, career, or your spiritual life — this is essential. 👉 This method has guided saints for centuries.
