Why get Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction is required to attain a deep conversion in our lives. Why a deep conversion? St. Bernard of Clairvaux said, “There are more people converted from mortal sin to grace, than there are religious converted from good to better”. Spiritual Direction is not only for those who are in some kind of crisis. People who are far from God and who are aware of that, convert into a deeper relationship with God than those who are lukewarm in their faith. A deep conversion is simply forming a willingness to mold our daily mundane activities from bad to good, good to better and then from better to best.
In his book “Deep Conversion/Deep Prayer” Fr. Thomas Dubay says, there are two kinds of human excellence, the first of which is on the level of natural talents, gifts, accomplishments. These occur in many areas and to differing degrees: intelligence, scholarship, literature, music, art, sports. The second and higher type lies on the level of personal goodness, integrity, virtue, sanctity. Here we find the beauties of selfless love, humility, honesty, patience, chastity, fidelity, generosity.
Spiritual Direction helps you to achieve the human excellence that will allow you to realize the beauty of selfless love, humility, honesty, patience, chastity, fidelity and generosity in you.
God will never change. Isn’t this such good news?
Spiritual Direction is the best way to reach deep inside our lives where God dwells.
