SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
IN IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY
OUR SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
Meet the dedicated guides who bring Ignatian Spirituality to life in New Zealand.
Ignatian spiritual direction can be understood as aiming to help people recognise and respond to the call of God in their lives. It offers, in the examen, a method of prayer suited to this; in its teaching on discernment, a series of techniques that enable one to proceed more surely; and in its understanding of the ‘Weeks’ which underpin the Spiritual Exercises, a framework and process within which those accompanied are invited to recognise their own journey
