As we work and pray together, my hope is to not lose sight of the true director that is present in Spirit. As Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, wrote, Spiritual direction is, in reality, nothing more than a way of leading us to see and obey the real Director — the Holy Spirit hidden in the depths of our soul.
