The Importance of Spiritual Direction

I’ve written and spoken frequently about the benefits of spiritual direction in my own life and how it has been instrumental in my spiritual journey and growth. I’ve learned to pay attention to the ordinary events and rhythms of my days that point me toward God. I’ve experienced new awakenings, clarified my calling, processed doubts, discerned invitations, and developed practices that have fed my soul. And I’ve been honored to journey with others and listen to their stories as their spiritual director.

Today, I share here a recent article written by Andrea Cooper in the New York Times wondering how spiritual direction helps in defining faith. In it she highlights how this practice is making a difference to people from a variety of faith traditions and paths.
