The Discernment section includes “What Are The Key Elements Of Vincentian Discernment?”

Imitation of Jesus

· What would Jesus do in this situation?
· How does this decision help me to serve others?
· Does this decision promote my own self-interest?

Openness/ Readiness

· Am I willing to look at all the choices before me?
· Am I willing to name and let go of fears?
· Am I willing to set aside my preconceived ideas?
· Am I willing to trust God…to accept a ‘yes’ or ‘no’?

Significant Events

· How is God speaking to me through events / people?
· What do those I trust: family / friends / advisors think?
· After pondering the event in prayer: what is God trying to tell you through this event?

The decision

· Is the decision reasonably clear?
· Is the decision rooted in peace?
· Is the decision just?
