Spiritual Direction
Are you seeking a deeper relationship with God?
The Sisters of Providence have certified Spiritual Directors to help guide you. We invite you to watch the video to learn more about Spiritual Direction.
What is spiritual direction?
Here are a few quick facts to get you started.
- Spiritual directors will accompany you on your journey into a greater intimacy with the Divine.
- Spiritual guidance is available for people of all faiths.
- Your spiritual director is there to pay attention, listen, and encourage you as you feel the movement of the Holy Spirit.
- Spiritual directors will help you see where God is in the everyday.
- People enter into spiritual direction for many different reasons. You may be seeking to deepen your relationship with God or it may be a time when there is a trauma or difficulty in your life such as a crisis of faith or deep loss.
- Spiritual direction is not counseling. It is meant to be a way to get in touch with the sacred within.
