Franciscan Spiritual Direction
About Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction provides a safe, confidential space in which a person can explore God’s invitation to a deeper relationship. The primary focus is recognizing God at the heart of daily life.
The spiritual director is trained to listen attentively to the activity or movements of the Holy Spirit.
The person who seeks Spiritual Direction is encouraged to allow God to be the center of attention and becomes more keenly aware of God’s inspirations and movements in the soul. All of life’s issues are appropriately brought to Spiritual Direction. A prayerful and trusting atmosphere is nurtured where the goal is recognizing God at the heart of daily life.
