I am looking to begin spiritual direction. I like the idea of having an ongoing relationship with a priest that I can speak with regarding matters of the soul, and who can lead me to developing a closer relationship with Christ.

What should I expect from this? What should I do to gain the most from this? Are there any websites which include directories of spiritual directors? I know of a Jesuit retreat house an hour from my house, and a FSSP community also an hour, and was looking into both of those.

any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Your best bet would be to ak your local priest.
 
My prayers for you that you will find wise guidance, according to God’s loving will.
If it is not simply through a spiritual director, may the Lord guide you to the spiritual reading that will inspire and guide you in God’s loving will for your spiritual life.

Joining in the spiritual life of the Church includes the Sacraments, knowing our faith through the Catechism, even the possibility of sharing in the Divine Office that priests and religious share in each day:

I would suggest looking into an FSSP priest for spiritual direction because they are very knowledgable and surely will help you grow in sanctity. God bless!
