As a spiritual Director I am like you, a spiritual seeker. I have not arrived; I am still very much on the way. I seek a livelier sense of God in my life, a closer relationship, a more perfect alignment with God's purposes. I would like to be God's instrument in the world and help to build God's reign. I pray but would like to pray better. I try to follow God's leadings as best I can discern them, but I could certainly follow them more generously. I have some virtues, my friends tell me, but I still struggle with a lot of behavior I wish I could do away with. A few people have ventured to call me wise, but I am not so sure, and in any case, I am certainly fallible. In our meetings, I may not tell you all this, but you can presume it.
Why talk to a spiritual Director? The journey is long with many side paths. “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
