Hi all,

I have a very quick question, and I hope I’m posting it in the appropriate forum: What is the difference between a spiritual advisor and a spiritual director, or are the two terms synonymous? Thanks in advance for any responses!

I think nowadays they are pretty much synonymous, although I think the term “spiritual director” more fully indicates the obedience one should give to one’s director as he (in some cases, she) leads one to a greater understanding of one’s life in its search for a deeper union with Christ and Christ’s action in one’s soul.
