Struggles in the Spiritual Life

Working Description: To navigate through the inevitable desolation and dryness that we experience in our spiritual lives, Fr. Timothy Gallagher here helps you apply St. Ignatius of Loyola's Rules for Discernment to your own spiritual life. He'll help you determine whether you are experiencing non-spiritual desolation, such as burnout or depression, or spiritual desolation, such as the Dark Night of the Soul. You'll learn whether your spiritual struggles are due to a lack of formation of prayer, or if you are simply being required to share a burden with God.
