SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

What is Spiritual Direction? Spiritual Direction is help given by one Christian to another which enables that person to pay attention to God's personal communication to him or her, to respond to this personally communicating God, and to live out the consequences of the relationship.

Who needs Spiritual Direction? Anyone who wants to develop a deeper relationship with God. Anyone who would like to have a companion who listens and asks questions that promote understanding and discernment about that journey to a deeper relationship.

What can you expect of a Spiritual Director? You can expect one to two hour monthly meetings in a casual, comfortable, confidential setting. You can expect a good director to keep the focus on the directee's relationship with God. You can expect a good director to be caring and accepting of your journey and your feelings about God. A good director will allow God to be the counselor and not give his or her personal opinions about a course of action for the directee.

If you have any questions or would like spiritual direction contact Patricia Sibons at (352)242-1938.
