On spiritual direction

[Casilda]

A caller on Relevant Radio said she was in need of a spiritual director, feeling lost in her faith. She was directed to contact an Opus Dei parish, in the meantime she could read Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange’s Three Ages of the Interior Life.

I listened intently to the priest’s recommendations as the caller verbalized much of my own concerns. She was told to spend time reading the above book everyday while waiting to find a spiritual director.

Any other advice?

I think people who are scrupulous need a spiritual director ASAP and should not indulgence themselves in too much reading. The only thing I would recommend they read are Scrupulous Anonymous or the Catechism.

Also, those are who are discerning a vocation, especially a religious, need to have a spiritual director.

Spiritual direction isn’t specifically for people who are scrupulous.

SD is for anyone needing assistance in deepening their prayer life.

Many dioceses have a list of qualified Spiritual Directors who are open to receiving new people. You could give your chancery office a call and ask if they have such a list.
