Spiritual Direction

"Spiritual direction is a relationship that allows one to assist another in discerning God's activity and presence in his or her life…A spiritual director listens with one ear to God and the other to the directee, always encouraging the directee to recognize where God can be found throughout the journey. At its core, spiritual direction attends to the faithfulness and initiative of God. The Holy Spirit is really the Director of the time together as both parties pay attention to God's movements and call. [The direction process] moves toward deeper intimacy with the Trinity." --Adele Calhoun, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook
