Description: 

How do Dominicans seek God’s will when it remains, in the end, ineffable? For Dominicans, discernment is a friendship-driven, ecclesial practice. Communal decision-making rests on the inherent goodness of the human person, the gifts of the Spirit guiding the concrete application of Scripture and Tradition, and the courage to speak the Truth in Love in chapter.
