b'SP#9 The School of Prayer: Foundations for the New Evangelization:
\\n\\xa0The Keys to Good Discernment
\\n
\\nFr. Scott Traynor talks about\\xa0the hallmarks of encounter with the Holy Spirit and what can be a deception. How can the keys to good discernment effect my service to the Church and to the World. \\xa0 What is the difference between “managing and/or deciding” and authentic “discernment”? \\xa0What is wrong with the phrase “What Would Jesus Do?”. \\xa0The better question is “Jesus, What ARE you doing?”. \\xa0Listening is the key for not only the one discerning. \\xa0How does the “school of prayer”, the parish, becomes an aid to the seeker. \\xa0How is the pastor a part of the process?

\\nIn Father Scott Traynor’s book, Blessed John Paul II’s memorable call to make of the parish a school of prayer takes on flesh and becomes concretely attainable. Those you read these faith-filled pages will find renewed desire to create such parishes and a clear road-map toward this goal.
