I now have two directees so I can call myself a spiritual director, although in all honesty the word ‘director’ is an inadequate title for what I actually do as I spend most of the time listening and the directing is more like the very occasional gentle suggestion of things that the directee might like to experience such as a constructing a personal spiritual timeline or a trying a style of prayer.
It is however a great privilege to sit and listen to people searching their hearts for 90 minutes in a quest for a deeper understanding of their faith and certainly a vocation that I feel called to.
Interestingly I find myself between spiritual directors and looking for a new one. More on the search in blogs to follow. Currently I am praying that one will just turn up!
