St Ignatius of Loyola developed guidelines to help people come to decisions about where to go and what to do in their lives. The process involves the followers of Christ becoming more sensitive to the action of God in their lives. The underlying sense is one of trusting self and feelings. The belief is that God’s desire for each one of us is that we should be at peace and joyful.
