057 - Consolation & Desolation | Pt. 1

from Catholicism Unwrapped · host GoldHouse Productions

God speaks. But not always the way we expect. In this episode of Catholicism Unwrapped, Fr. Andy & Fr. Andy dive into the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises; unpacking consolation, desolation, and discernment in a world that never stops talking. They explore: • Why silence is often where God speaks most clearly • How to tell the difference between God’s voice and the enemy’s • What to do when prayer feels dry, distracted, or empty • Why God never causes desolation — but allows it • And how faithfulness matters more than “successful” prayer If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t hear anything when I pray,” this conversation is for you. 🎧 Episode 57 — Part 1 of a 2-part Ignatian series
