… discernment is reckoned among the noblest gifts of the Spirit by the Apostle:
“To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit”, and shortly after,
“to another the discerning of spirits”. You see then that the gift of discernment is no earthly thing and no slight matter, but the greatest prize of divine grace.
(St John Cassian)
