O discernimento espiritual na conceção cristã

: o discernimento como uma constante de vida

Abstract

This thesis develops the theme of Discernment from the Apostolic Exhortations of Pope Francis, among which Christus Vivit occupies the dominant topic of the investigation. The first chapter is dedicated to the biblical deepening of “discernment”, still focusing on the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council and the Magisterium of Pope Francis. Moving on to the second chapter, the reader will be able to find an approach to the theme from a perspective of personal morality and accompaniment, converging attention on the themes of “freedom”, knowledge”, “identity”, “conscience” and “truth”, which structure this section. Finally, the third chapter summarizes the theoretical approach of the preceding chapters, leading the entire process to “youth discernment” from authors of spirituality.
