What is Spiritual Direction?

Join Sr. Gloria Murillo, S.T.J as she explains the purpose and process of spiritual direction and how it can help you develop a richer and deeper prayer life.

Here are some helpful links for more information:

Who Comes to Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is help given to one person by a trained director to assist that person in becoming aware of God’s presence in their life, and then guiding that person in growing a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.

It is not counseling, teaching or companionship.  Instead, the person, with the aid of the director, discerns the presence and movement of God in their life and then learns to engage in prayerful conversations with God about those movements.

For more information, please contact one of below trained and certified spiritual directors in our diocese.
