What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is a discipline through which a person explores and deepens his relationship with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the context of a confidential ongoing conversation with another disciple of Jesus who, because of their personal experience and intellectual knowledge of God and the spiritual life, accompanies others on their way home to God.
 
Spiritual direction helps us become aware of how we cooperate with, ignore, or sometimes actively hinder the Holy Spirit’s work within us.

Grounded in the truths of the faith once delivered to the saints (cf. Jude 1:3), loyal to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and drawing upon the spiritual wisdom of those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, spiritual direction is a ministry in service to the whole Church. Through it, we grow in our prayer life and learn to live more fully into and out of our call to holiness in whatever state of life God calls us.
