‍

Personal spiritual direction in a retreat following the Exercises

The personal spiritual direction we offer in Jesuit spiritual centers is inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

Through the review of daily prayer times based on texts from the Bible and also through the review of your life, it helps you seek and find God in all things, respond to your desire to know Christ better, and, listening to the Word, make choices for the future to follow him more closely.

‍

What does it involve?

• Spiritual direction is a very ancient practice in the Church.

• It involves speaking with a brother or sister in faith about what makes up one's life and prayer to discover God at work in all aspects of existence with its shadows and lights.  

• The spiritual director is a believer, also engaged in the same search for God and trained in Ignatian spiritual direction.

• He or she walks alongside the directee to help them free themselves from the obstacles that hinder them, at whatever stage they are in their life and in the vocation that is theirs.

• The spiritual director and the directee together listen to the Spirit.

• The spiritual director is bound by confidentiality.
