 Spiritual directionis classically a conversation in which one person helps another to discern the prompting of God, and to respond to it. Spiritual direction helps people tell their sacred stories everyday. 
Europe is currently seeing a revival of this ministry. The continent’s diverse cultural, religious and historical experiences provide a rich soil in which this ministry grows. Our LOGO represents the grain of wheat.  We witness and accompany the process of trans-formation and new growth imaged by the development of the grain. The falling of the grains and their gradual re-emergence happens in a silent time and is unnoticed by many. The spiritual director is a perceptive and gentle support through these times. We are familiar with the reality of life that difficult times can also be moments of grace and opportunity.The grains of wheat fall into the soil of our European countries. It is there that we live our moments of graced history. |
