Discernment Comes from Holy Tradition, Not Intuition
The speaker distinguishes discernment from intuition, stating that discernment rests on holy tradition, scripture, and the word of God revealed over two thousand years. He observes that many people ask God for a sign about what to do with their lives, yet the tradition already supplies the guidance they seek. He points to the fathers, the scriptures, and the lives of thousands of saints as a treasury of theology, experience, and practical direction.
The practical path, he says, is to wake up, pray, fast, attend church, and strive to be a good person.
