Spiritual Direction
Am I a candidate for Spiritual direction?
Spiritual Direction is recommended for people who are actively seeking God’s will in the midst of their daily life. In Spiritual direction there is a sharing of one’s experience of prayer and the spiritual consequences of that experience to living a full, mature Christian life.
The true director is the Holy Spirit who helps the trained spiritual director to “hear” what the directee is truly saying about his/her faith. The Spiritual director does not really ‘direct’ as in giving advice or solving problems, but rather helps the directee to open up to God’s graces, which allows the Lord to work in the directee to bring about a deeper relationship with Him.
The directee is asked to pray everyday on scripture and spend this time prayerfully with god, listening to and responding to movements of his/her heart. To request a spiritual director, please click HERE.

Ignatian Prayer
Learn more about Ignatian Prayer
Ignatian prayer provides a vehicle to help a person come to healing, freedom and purpose in Christ. Through meditation on the Scriptures and the practice of imaginative contemplation one is drawn into deeper personal awareness and understanding of God’s love and mercy, resulting in a desire to grow in virtue and serve God’s people.
The directee is offered a scripture (or scriptures) and a related grace to reflect on. Feelings and emotions will surface as the words and images touch the mind and heart. The directee is encouraged to have an inner dialogue with the Lord as memories and personal connections arise.
The prayer hour concludes with an expression of gratitude to the Lord for his goodness and grace. A short time of review of the prayer and writing in one’s journal is recommended.
If you are interested in an Ignatian Prayer experience, we offer the following at the House of Prayer:
Abide in Me
Abide in Me is offered on an individual basis. It is a prayer program created to deepen your relationship with the Lord using the 8 themes of prayer developed by Fr. John Wickham. This program is a grace-filled prelude to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. The person would pray in the Ignatian Prayer method of meditation and contemplation on a specific grace and scripture each day for 30-60 minutes and would meet with a Spiritual Director once a week. This program is offered in a group format from time to time.
19th Annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises
The 19th Annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises is offered on an individual basis. The person would pray in the Ignatian Prayer method of meditation and contemplation on a specific grace and scripture each day for 60 minutes and would meet with a Spiritual Director once a week. The Spiritual Exercises are prayed over a 9-month period. The Abide in Me prayer program or an Eight Day Ignatian Retreat is a prerequisite for the Exercises.
