SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Studying the lives of saints, there are three things they share in common:

 

First, they have a deep, personal relationship with Jesus himself.

Second, they submitted their will and their life to Jesus, within the confines of His Holy Catholic Church.

Third, in order to keep growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ, they sought out spiritual direction.

Spiritual direction is a means of growing in the spiritual life through the direction of a trusted spiritual advisor such as a priest, religious, or qualified lay person. It is based on a Christian belief that the mystical life is not the result of extraordinary graces, but the normal development and perfection of the grace received by every Christian at Baptism. 

Spiritual direction is not advice given in a confessional, it is not psycho-therapeutic assistance with moral and family issues, analysis, coaching or pastoral counseling. 

Spiritual direction deals specifically with a person’s relationship with God. In Ipso provides spiritual direction for individuals seeking deeper life in Him.

Spiritual direction includes regular meeting with a professional, trained lay spiritual director who will walk with the directed on his/her spiritual journey.  Everything discussed in Spiritual Direction is kept in strict confidentiality.
