LouisvilleFan Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 A spiritual director does not have to be a priest, or even a religious. I know there are several men and women laypeople in my diocese who serve as spiritual directors. Check with your diocesan vocations office and the vocations offices of religious orders to see that might be in your area to see what referrals they can provide. Ask your priest too. If he can't connect you with a spiritual director, he almost certainly knows women in your parish who could advise you outside of a director-directee relationship. It's best to find a spiritual director to gain the benefits that come with it, but first you need a trusting, open, and honest relationship.

HisChildForever Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 If you think a male director may cause some distress via distraction, I encourage you to find a female director. I mean, I would want to look forward to my meetings instead of have that worry in the back of my mind regarding attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
