Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is two people listening together to the Holy Spirit as spiritual friends and companions. Further, it's a conversation between two people where one is seeking to help another to deepen their friendship with God.

Your director is focused on creating an environment where you can hear and respond to the voice of the Holy Spirit. As David Benner says, “Discerning the presence and leading of the Holy Spirit is the central task.” The primary goal of these conversations is to lead you to a deepening relationship with God.

God loves you and is always at work in your life. You are His Beloved and He desires that you grow and deepen that relationship with Him. Spiritual direction helps one be alert to and make sense of the happenings of everyday life. The goal is to be more attentive to what God is doing and saying.

Spiritual direction is an ongoing conversation that takes place over a number of months. It is a spiritual conversation with a soul companion that leads a deeper relationship with God through prayer, listening, and silence in a grace-filled atmosphere of love. Through conversation, questions, observations and suggestions for the spiritual journey, a spiritual director helps you center in on God and listen to the voice of His Spirit.
