Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction is for people who have desire to know God and get close to Him. These are the people who want to be grateful for what they have received from God. Unfortunately many of them don’t know where to start. The Spiritual Director allows the person to grow with the guidance from the Holy Spirit. There are three people involved in Spiritual Direction: The Holy Spirit, The Directee and The Director.
God will never change. Isn’t this such a good news? Human condition, in recent times has been badly wounded. Family life has lost it’s Biblical basis. A high percentage of Americans are bordering depression. Most influential cause for this condition, in my opinion is, lack of faith in God. The lack of faith in His love. This disbelief in God has sneaked into all walks of life, even Christianity. Our interior lives have been shaken.
Spiritual direction helps one to get in touch with God who dwells in us and in doing so get in touch with ourselves, with the ultimate meaning of our lives, with our very identity and the truth that defines our existence. Spiritual Direction is the best way to reach deep inside our lives where God dwells.
Pope John Paul II wrote in Christifidelis Laici, “To be able to discover the actual will of the Lord in our lives always involves the following: a receptive listening to the Word of God and the Church, fervent and constant prayer, recourse to a wise and loving spiritual guide, and a faithful discernment of the gifts and talents given by God.”
— Dan Burke
The realization that God’s love for me is bigger and more cosmic than we can ever imagine was complemented by the realization that it is also more intimate and personal than we can ever imagine. This entire cosmic drama was, in God’s plan, there for me. And for every other member of His body, His family. Everything God ever did—the creation of the universe, amazing miracles, and the universal laws by which He moves history forward—the Big Bang, the Incarnation, and the law of gravity—are there not for the universe or even for “humanity”. No, they are there for you and me.
— Peter Kreeft

My Story
Before I enrolled with the diaconate institute at the Mundelein seminary, I had no idea what spiritual direction was. Having a spiritual director was mandatory for us. Initially I didn’t quite understand the benefits. But eventually I saw the benefits. Since then I am in regular SD once a month for an hour each session.
Then I started reading about spiritual direction. Got interested in becoming a spiritual director myself. Decided to get some formal training. I joined Divine Mercy university and got certified.
In addition to providing spiritual direction, I also teach RCIA. I pray the divine office and pray novenas and Rosary when possible. I am constantly aware of a need to increase my time with the Lord.
I got some theological training during my diaconate program in the seminary. I do a good amount of spiritual reading.
I am expected to get certified in the Summer of 2022.
I make sure that I do not contradict Church teachings. For instance, abortion, etc.
I have a great devotion to Mary, and I will try to clarify the confusion that generally exists in regards to devotion to her among protestant circles.
Ultimately, we do all this, the prayers, devotions, checking our conscience, etc to form a good relationship with Jesus Christ. That should be your goal too.
I pray that the Lord finds me worthy of transforming His children and bring them closer to Him than where they are now.
