In these conferences (AVAILABLE HERE AS .MP3 DOWNLOAD) Father Gallagher presents to spiritual directors new insights and applications of the rules for the discernment of spirits. These recordings expound on the personal reflections included in his latest book, Setting Captives Free. St. Ignatius’ guidelines set captives free from the discouragement and sadness of spiritual desolation. They offer hope precisely where persons may have felt hope was not possible—and so release new energy for the spiritual journey.
