A Spiritual Director serves as a companion, a knowledgeable fellow traveler, on the faith journey.
The work of Spiritual Direction is between a person and God, the Director. The Spiritual Companion listens and reflects back what is going on in the person and also listens for the Spirit.
Whether a new or mature seeker, when one seeks a deeper relationship with the Holy, God finds that person, meeting them just where they are.
The process involves self reflection, an examining, claiming and owning our faith and spirituality as it is, and then learning to enrich and deepen it by exploration, discovery, discipline and prayer.
Our lives are very busy and often stress-filled. Challenging and difficult events may shake our faith. Terror threats are a real part of life for most of the world. Acts of hatred and violence around the world and in our own cities and towns can cause us to fret and worry. We have lived that has left noticeable changes in our way of life. Covid has caused our lives to be disoriented and changed. It is easy to get caught up in the negative energy. But God is a very active presence in our world. The love of God is constant and surrounds us. We are not alone.
In spiritual direction we find ways to encounter the Holy Spirit moving in, around and through us. We are gifted with the five senses that offer us a variety of ways to engage our God. We are able to see how God works in and through us to make us our best selves in all the situations we find ourselves. When we take the time to pause and recognize the Divine in our surroundings and experience the positive energy of God’s love emanating from it all (even the mundane!), our lives become richer and fuller.
