Henri Nouwen Quote

(Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the long walk home).

“Spiritual direction provides an address on the house of your life so that you can be addressed by God in prayer. When this happens, your life begins to be transformed in ways you hadn’t planned or counted on, for God works in wonderful and surprising ways”.

Spiritual Direction, also known as spiritual companionship, offers a supportive space to explore your faith, spiritual journey, and relationship with God.

It’s not about an agenda for your life, but letting God come and be alive within us.

A key idea in spiritual direction is that God, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is always drawing us closer.

God is the real director at work in our daily lives. Spiritual direction helps us notice this, giving us time to pause, reflect, and respond.

It lets you grow and deepen your spirituality at your own pace, with gentle guidance.

Spiritual direction sessions usually happen every 6 to 8 weeks and last about an hour. You can meet during retreats or set up regular sessions throughout the year.

Clarifying Spiritual Direction

At the core of spiritual direction is the question:

Who is God for me, and who am I for God?

Three areas can be explored:

What is happening in times of prayer

Awareness of God in daily life, in everyday things

My calling to be me, and God’s vision for me
