Discernment of God’s will and its fulfillment consist one of the most important tasks of every Christian. God calls His faithful people to discern everything that is pleasing to Him (see Ephesians 5:10). “The gift of discernment has become all the more necessary today” (Pope Francis, Gaudete and exsultate, no. 167). In response to this call of God, the writings of St. Ignatius Loyola can be of great help, especially his Spiritual Exercises.In this article, I undertake the analysis of the Rules the discernment of spirits and the Rules of making a good and reasonable choice, placing them in the context of the necessary requirements for spiritual discernment and in the framework of the indispensable conditions that must be met. Deeply spiritual, universal, timeless and at the same time very precise and pragmatic instructions of St. Ignatius can serve as an extraordinary help, also for the contemporary Christians, in the process of proper discernment of the concrete will of God and its fulfillment in the power of the Holy Spirit in our everyday life.

Rozeznawanie woli Bożej i jej wypełnianie stanowią jedne z najważniejszych zadań, jakie stają przed każdym chrześcijaninem. Bóg wzywa ludzi wierzących, aby rozeznawali wszystko, co jest miłe Panu (por. Ef 5, 10). „Dzisiaj szczególnie potrzebna stała się postawa rozeznawania” (Papież Franciszek, Gaudete et exsultate, nr 167). Szczególną pomocą w odpowiedzi na to wezwanie Pana Boga są pisma św. Ignacego Loyoli, zwłaszcza jego Ćwiczenia duchowe.W niniejszym artykule podejmuję analizę ignacjańskich Reguł rozeznawania duchów oraz Reguł dokonywania wyboru, umieszczając je w kontekście potrzeby rozeznawania duchowego oraz niezbędnych warunków, jakie należy spełniać, aby było ono możliwe. Głęboko duchowe, uniwersalne, ponadczasowe, a jednocześnie precyzyjne i pragmatyczne wskazówki św. Ignacego są niezwykłą pomocą, także dla współczesnych chrześcijan, w procesie właściwego rozeznania konkretnej woli Bożej i wypełniania jej w codziennym życiu mocą Ducha Świętego.

Rules of the discernment of spirits that St. Ignatius Loyola (1491–1556) included in his Spiritual Exercises (SE) are a great gift of God for the whole Church. They meet the universal need for spiritual discernment, which is witnessed in both the Holy Scriptures and in the history of the Church. The article analyzes the text of the First rule of the discernment of spirits, which concerns the action of the good and evil spirit on the path of human spiritual regression. St. Ignatius explains in the First rule that: “In the persons who go from mortal sin to mortal sin, the enemy is commonly used to propose to them apparent pleasures, making them imagine sensual delights and pleasures in order to hold them more and make them grow in their vices and sins. In these persons the good spirit uses the opposite method, pricking them and biting their consciences through the process of reason” (SE 314). Modern man, who lives in a world marked by various spiritual and material threats, in which different types of spirits are trying to put pressure on him, needs help for their proper discernment, in order to be able to choose the path of true life, whichhas been show to us by Jesus Christ – God of Love.
