Saints sometimes exhibited mystical phenomena in the cognoscitive order such as visions, locutions, revelations, discernment of spirits , and hierognosis (ability to distinguish blessed from profane objects); cf. Antonio Royo Marín, O.P., *Teología de la Perfección Cristiana* p. 814.
Discernment of spirits in the sense of reading souls (as opposed to distinguishing good from evil spirits; cf. *ibid.* p. 826) would seem to include the ability to know what state of life God is calling a particular soul to.
