    Julia is obviously a lovely woman but she is not North American. I don’t understand why you can’t find someone to represent our young folks who is from the United States or Canada. Julia should be representing

    Eastern Europe. I’m not going to go on any further about this because it’s obvious what I’m saying.

14 Tips to Start Thinking Like a Saint
Q: Were there particular saints who influenced your reading of the rules beyond Ignatius and Lanteri?
Yes, Francis de Sales, Therese of Lisieux, and John Henry Newman provided rich editorial lenses; their writings show how Ignatian discernment can be expressed clearly by different authors across centuries, which helped shape the book's commentary sections and examples.
14 Tips to Start Thinking Like a Saint
Q: Could you give listeners a brief elevator explanation of the 14 rules for discernment?
The rules guide a person from recognizing desolation and consolation to resisting temptation, with Rule 5 advising not to change one's spiritual life in desolation, and Rules 6–14 offering concrete actions to cultivate virtue, discern God's grace, and involve wise spiritual accompaniment when needed, all framed by Ignatian pedagogy and the broader Catholic spiritual tradition.
14 Tips to Start Thinking Like a Saint
Q: So what was the impetus to write this book now?
The book emerged from a desire to show that the 14 rules Ignatius wrote are not just a historical artifact but a universal framework, supported by centuries of saints, and to present them in a compact, practical way that people can apply immediately in daily life and retreats.
A Catechism of the Strange with W. Tyler Allen
Q: How should Catholics approach miracles and strange experiences with both wonder and discernment?
Guard against both credulity and cynicism by looking at the fruits, practicing discernment, and allowing mystery to invite a slower, more prayerful form of belief.
A Catechism of the Strange with W. Tyler Allen
Q: Why did you write this book and what should readers take away?
The book is meant to shift understanding from viewing strange phenomena as mere curiosities to seeing them as vehicles for deeper contemplation of theosis and a more intimate encounter with God.
