St. Mark offers a ministry of spiritual companionship and deepening into sacred transformation of individuals. Spiritual Director(s) will support directees as they discern the way God is leading them, and encourages directees to faithfully follow God’s lead and the Gospel of Jesus.
Throughout human history individuals have been called to accompany others who are seeking the Mystery of God. Spiritual Directors, guided by the Holy Spirit, prayerfully render an active ministry of sensitivity, presence, and support that helps others tell their sacred stories. Through Christian prayer and listening, the director seeks to invite directees to listen more closely and respond more fully to God in their lives.
We will coordinate informational/introductory sessions, for interested groups and/or individuals of our parish community about Spiritual Direction and contemplative prayer. Sessions will explain via mini-practices, a variety of contemplative prayers, as well as demonstrate its relationship to Spiritual Direction. Among the contemplative prayers we will include: breath prayer, lectio divina, centering prayer, praying with creation, visio divina, and others.
Those interested in Spiritual Direction will be invited to meet with a Spiritual Director from our team.
