We are all spiritually hungry. As St. Augustine would say that we all longed to fill that heart-shaped desire, deep in our soul. It is only God who can fill that void and give us the true satisfaction in our heart. In this spiritual pilgrimage, we all need someone to walk alongside us, to journey with us, to give us guidance and support in the search for meaning of life. Spiritual Direction is a sacred time and space reserved for God, allowing God to transform us from within. God is always and already present amongst us, it is just us who lack the awareness of His presence. A Spiritual Director serves as a spiritual companion to support you, through attentive listening and spiritual prompting, to discern where is God drawing your attention to, to listen more deeply to your true self and embrace who you are created to be in God’s image, and integrate these awareness into your daily life and your calling. For me, as a spiritual director, it is important to be holding a trusted, non-judgemental space for us to grow together as “soul friends,” as fellow pilgrims through the different seasons of your life, exploring who God created you to be, discerning and celebrating God’s presence in your daily happenings and work through different challenges and losses in the pilgrimage of life.
