What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
To discern is the task of the mature, who are able to judge. Therefore, it is characteristic only of an immature and ignorant understanding to choose what is not pleasing to the Lord, such as the aforementioned passions.
Theodoret of Cyrus
You share in the Word. You have received the grace of the Holy Spirit. Now you are made able to discern what is pleasing to God.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Then he discloses with what intention the actions should be performed. For they should not be done abruptly but with proving, that is, discerning with one's mind—"Let everyone prove his own work," as Galatians 6 (4) expresses it—what is well pleasing to God, that is, you ought to have the intention of doing whatever pleases God. "Be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and the acceptable and the perfect will of God" (Rom. 12:2).
