Definitions of Spiritual Direction:

“Spiritual direction then is a gift, the charism, the ministry of guiding a person in and through his/her Passover in the Lord. It is a unique participation in another’s spiritual regeneration, deification, transformation. Spiritual direction is a God-willed contribution of one person to another’s process of spiritualization, interiorization, sanctification.”

Nemeck, F & Coombs, M. (1985). The Way of Spiritual Direction. Liturgical Press, Collegeville, MN.

“Spiritual direction is concerned with helping a person directly with his or her relationship with God.”
