• Spiritual Guide

  A spiritual guide is not a judge.  A spiritual guide is a companion, a man or woman who sees our potential, and holds a gaze of shelter and belonging.  At times it a  fierce gaze, in other moments, we see tenderness, compassion, humility.  Our story is valuable, and speaking your truth gives voice to angst and ability.  Please risk trusting your spiritual director, trust your own gut and intuition, and remember, we only move as swiftly as the slowest part of ourselves.   Thus whether it takes months or years to fully share and integrate our story, life invitations and experience, all is well in the fullness of time.  Transparency, risk and seeking to create your authenticity.    –Spiritual Directors International

• Ministry is
  a quality of relationship between and among
  human beings
  that beckons forth hidden possibilities;
  inviting people into deeper, more constant
  more reverent relationship with the world
  and with one another;
  carrying forward a long heritage of hope and
  liberation that has dignified and informed
  the human venture over many centuries;
  being present with, to, and for others
  in their terrors and torments
  in their grief, misery and pain;
  knowing that those feelings
  are our feelings, too;
  celebrating the triumphs of the human spirit,
  the miracles of birth and life,
  the wonders of devotion and sacrifice;
  witnessing to life-enhancing values;
  speaking truth to power; 
  speaking for human dignity and equity,
  for compassion and aspiration;
  believing in life in the presence of death;
  struggling for human responsibility
  against principalities and structures
  that ignore humaneness and become instruments of death.It is all these and much, much more than all of them,
  present in
  the wordless,
  the unspoken,
  the ineffable.It is speaking and living the highest we know
  and living with the knowledge that it is
  never as deep, or as wide or a high as we wish.

  Whenever there is a meeting that summons us to our better selves, wherever our lostness is found,
  our fragments are united,
  our wounds begin healing,
  our spines stiffen and
  our muscles grow strong for the task,
  there is ministry.
