What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which someone encourages you to reflect on your life in the light of the Gospel and Christian wisdom.  Through this process, you are led and encouraged to discover a more conscious experience of God's presence and love.

Spiritual direction should not be confused with counseling or psychotherapy.  While spiritual direction often includes issues with which you are struggling the emphasis is on your faith journey.  Spiritual direction is about growing in faith rather than solving problems.
