SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
What is a Spiritual Director?
A spiritual director's purpose is to help people grow closer to God and deepen their relationship with Him. Through one-on-one meetings and individual guidance, the following points are addressed:
​
-
Help people discover God's presence
Spiritual directors help people become aware of God's action in their lives, and how God is working in them.
-
Help people grow in faith
Spiritual directors help people grow in intimacy with God, and learn to listen and respond to Him.
-
Help people discover their gifts
Spiritual directors help people discover the gifts God has given them, and how to use them in the world.
-
Help people develop a relationship with God
Spiritual directors help people develop a relationship with God through prayer and discernment.
-
Be a companion on the journey
Spiritual directors are companions on the journey of life, providing support and feedback through listening.
Spiritual direction is a confidential, ongoing conversation between a Spiritual Director and the person being directed. Some questions that may be helpful to consider when talking to a Spiritual Director include:
-
Where am I seeing God in my life right now?
-
How is God working in my life?
-
What am I doing to nourish my faith/prayer life?
-
What part of my spiritual life needs strengthening?
