At its core, Spiritual Direction is helping a person directly with his or her relationship with God.  It is the simple gift of offering to another person the gentle but tenacious encouragement to open fully to God's loving presence and to co-discern God's activity in every aspect of life.

 

In Spiritual Direction the person is not encouraged so much to understand relationship with God, but to engage in relationship with God.  The focus is on listening and responding to our self-communicating God who is the initiator of relationship with us. The goal is to help the other grow in a personal relationship with God and to reflect the transforming power of God's love in our lives.

 

The practice of offering Spiritual Direction is different from counselling, coaching, or mentoring. It main purpose is not to overcome problems or gain new skills, but to help a person – even in the midst of personal struggles or spiritual deserts – connect with God, hear his voice, and respond to his love.
