What is spiritual direction?
Spiritual direction is a relationship in which one person (director) accompanies another (directee) in the search for a deeper friendship with God.
The focus of spiritual direction is on the directee’s relationship with God. The goals of spiritual direction include helping the directee to become more aware of:
-
the movements of God in daily life
-
God’s personal revelation through prayer and silence
-
how gospel living gives meaning to life
What can I expect from spiritual direction?
The spiritual director and directee meet once a month for approximately an hour. Directees share their experience of God, faith, struggles and prayer. The directee should have a basic faith in God and a desire to deepen that relationship.
Directee should be willing to commit time and energy to prayer and seek to be honest with themselves, the director, and God. The Director is a person who has received training in spiritual direction and continues with ongoing study, spiritual growth and prayer.
She listens attentively, affirms the presence of God in the directee’s life, and helps interpret the directee’s experience in the light of faith. The director may at times confront the directee gently and make suggestions for spiritual growth.
