Far from being "direction," spiritual direction is a process in which a person is companioned and encouraged on his/her journey with God. We are ALL called to grow in our relationship with God. With a director, it is safe to explore what that means for you, perhaps sharing joys, struggles, pain and questions in non-judgmental conversations. The goal is to develop a mature and deepening relationship with God in your life. A spiritual director is a trained and certified professional requiring years of intense study and practice. Even with all the wonderful church resources (sacrament, liturgy, adult study and prayer groups) questions may linger. It is important to understand: it is not the director's role to have the answers to these questions. However, spiritual direction may help you discern as you search for understanding. It's necessary to have a comfortable "fit" between the director and directee. Both usually meet on a regular basis, often once a month for an hour. A directee is encouraged to exhibit an open, honest and committed effort toward his/her journey, with the assurance the director will keep it confidential.
