In these conferences (AVAILABLE HERE AS .MP3 DOWNLOAD), Fr. Gallagher presents in conference form the material from his book Ignatius of Loyola's Second Rules for Discernment. The focus of the conferences is the concrete application of the Second Rules in spiritual direction, and to assist spiritual directors in such refined discernment.
The Second rules are illustrated for the reader through an example. "Kathy", a spiritually mature person, faces the situation Ignatius envisaged in his Second Rules. Throughout the conferences, the listener is her director.
These conferences are intended to serve both those who offer spiritual direction and those learning to be spiritual directors. To the first, it provides a review and firmer grasp of the Second Rules in practice and to the second, a foundation on which experience will build.
