Serving One Another

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve one another humbly in love.”

Galatians 5:13

Spiritual Direction is the art of walking with another to discern with prayerful compassion and spirit-led wisdom, all that the Lord desires for those seeking Him.

Certified Spiritual Directors have been prepared to accompany a person who is sincerely seeking to grow in their love of, and relationship with God. Through their own journey, Spiritual Directors have walked the interior life experiencing many seasons of struggles and joy, confusion and clarity, difficult desolation and humbled consolation. They have been guided by men and women of faith, both religious and laity, to dive into a deeper intimacy and communion with God.

Spiritual Directors are called by God to journey with others by listening, praying, and sharing divinely inspired wisdom. They encourage a Directee to continue on the path during times of difficulty and to praise God in communion for times of abundant blessings. Spiritual Directors are attuned to the movements of the human heart that can help a Directee explore their innermost longings that point them in the direction of heaven.

While Spiritual Directors have a valuable role within the Director/Directee relationship it is important to know that the true Spiritual Director of our soul is always God, in and through the Holy Spirit.

If you’re seeking a Spiritual Director contact your parish or diocese. You can speak with others who are in spiritual direction for some suggestions. If you’re interested in walking with Monique, reach out to her. She offers face to face spiritual direction in person or online.
