Our Spiritual LIfe

Being a spiritual director challenges my own spirituality, keeping me "on my toes."  My personal spirituality is also tied deeply to my faith affiliation and its traditions, which is the Catholic Church. This is something I cannot just talk "about" but I must indeed live it. Each spiritual director is called to be true to his or her own spirituality, in whatever way they see fit.  

As I went through my spiritual direction training, I found it very interesting to meet individuals along the whole spectrum of religiosity, formal affiliations with a particular faith basis, as well as those with no affiliation.  My sometimes narrow past was broadened quite a bit after learning more about other belief systems, which included not only Christianity but Judaism, Islam, Native American spirituality and those who simply say they are "spiritual but not religious". 

Each of us, spiritual director or not,  should be true to ourselves and continue to develop our spirituality they way we see fit.  Each one of us is called to be the best person we can be; that includes the physical, emotional as well as spiritual side of us. How we do it is up to each of us. Personally, I believe spiritual direction is a wonderful way to do this. 

If you would like to consider spiritual direction for yourself, why not make a phone call today. I'll answer any questions you might have. An hour may make the world of difference for your spiritual life and a wonderful gift to yourself!
