Spiritual direction is the contemplative practice of helping another person or group to awaken to the mystery called God in all of life, and to respond to that discovery in a growing relationship of freedom and commitment. (James Keegan, SJ, Roman Catholic, USA, on behalf of the 2005 Coordinating Council of Spiritual Directors International)

What is the purpose of Spiritual Direction? Being involved in spiritual direction helps the person seeking direction (directee) to recognize and respond to God’s ongoing invitation for a closer relationship. Learning how to be attentive or notice God’s presence and action in our lives is a big part of what spiritual direction seeks to do. This new awareness often leads the directee to make life choices based on their new awareness of what God is doing in their life.
