A discerning intellect was one of the principal gifts of Joe Munitiz SJ (1931–2022), whose fifty-year association with The Way has left an indelible mark. This issue pays tribute to him with a selection of articles exploring the processes of intellectual discernment that underpin the lives of individuals and communities. From the doctrinal debates of the early Church to the Spiritual Diary of St Ignatius, saints and scholars have always made careful decisions about which thoughts to follow and which to set aside. Such decisions are accompanied by processes of discernment that take days, months or even years to come to fruition. By paying attention to the character of these processes, we can better dispose ourselves to let our thoughts be shaped according to God’s design. In doing so, even our intellectual lives can become an expression of our discipleship of Jesus.
