Within each of us dwells the desire to find meaning beyond the moment, to discover our true selves, to grow closer to God and to one another.  A spiritual director can help you satisfy that longing.  (James Keegan, SJ, on behalf of Spiritual Directors International)

Spiritual direction encourages you to explore a relationship with the Mystery we call God.  In the midst of a busy life, many people find it difficult to notice God’s action in their daily affairs.  Yet, at the deepest level, all of us long for a more conscious experience of God’s presence and love.

Spiritual direction is not about being directed.  Rather, it is about being encouraged to draw closer to God.  You are free in spiritual direction to speak about spirituality in language that is significant to you.  Spiritual direction invites you into this relationship whether you attend church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or none of these.  God seeks you where you are.

The privilege and responsibility of a spiritual director is to journey with you as you deepen your relationship with God.  The journey takes place in the context of confidential one-on-one sessions with your spiritual companion.
