To Receive Spiritual Direction

The primary purpose of Spiritual Direction is to grow in a personal relationship with your God through coming to notice and savor the movements of the Spirit in everyday life, prayer, meditation, and relationships. This may lead to a deeper intimacy with the Sacred, one's True Self and others; prompt gratitude; necessitate discernment; evoke Love and call us forth to serve . It requires being attentive to the moment and listening with the heart to the gentle stirrings deep within. The fruits of Spiritual Direction may include a greater interior freedom, deeper joy, more grace-filled decisions, a more integrated life and healthier relationships with self and others.

A number of Mercy Center's Program staff and graduates of our Spiritual Direction Practicum are available to offer spiritual direction. A donation is requested for these services. The suggested range is $35 - $75 per session.

Interns in Mercy Center's Spiritual Direction Practicum and Interships are also available for spiritual direction. There is no charge for their services while they are in training.
