St. Francis of Assisi' own words on the topic of discernment may be helpful to you.
Where there is a heart full of mercy and discernment,
there is neither excess nor hardness of heart.
Blessed is the servant who stores up in heaven the good things which the Lord shows to him and does not wish to reveal them to people under the guise of a reward, because the Most High Himself will reveal His deeds to whomever He wishes.
Blessed is the servant who safeguards the secrets of the Lord in his heart. (Francis of Assisi, The Founder, Early Documents I, p. 137)
