There are no unimportant moments in any lifetime. All are precious gifts of opportunity to know and serve the One who made us and continues to call us throughout our life.

The self-gift of God is always with us; we can call it grace, but because it is always present, it sometimes goes unnoticed. The work of a spiritual director can help us to notice the grace, to accept it and celebrate it.

A spiritual director can help us wake up to the grace within us and around us for she has created within herself the capacity to work with others who are searching for a deeper depth in their relationship with God and others. In other words, spiritual directors help us know more fully who God is, but also who we are.

The Good News is, we are never outside the reach of God’s presence. A spiritual director points us to the holy places where a person can find God: a bus, a pew in church, the grocery store, a kitchen table, the top of a mountain, walking in the rain, and so many more places. Find God there, find yourself there, find the world there, find that holy ground where you can root yourself in the presence of the Holy One. Your spiritual director will help you.
