Spiritual direction in Catholic theology assists individuals on their path to holiness. It's a process of discerning God's will in one's life, guided by prayer and reflection. A spiritual director helps a person understand how divine grace works within them, fostering spiritual growth. This isn't simply intellectual learning; it's about a profound moral transformation, a deeper relationship with God, and the integration of faith into daily life. The director offers support and guidance, helping the individual identify obstacles to their spiritual journey and develop strategies for overcoming them. The goal is to live a more authentic Christian life, empowered by God's grace.
