And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” —Mark 6:31
Spiritual Direction
The one who accompanies does not substitute for the Lord, does not do the work in the place of the person accompanied, but walks alongside him or her, encouraging them to interpret what is stirring in their heart, the quintessential place where the Lord speaks. The spiritual accompanier, whom we call spiritual director. . . they draw your attention to things that perhaps pass you by; they help you understand better the signs of the times, the voice of the Lord, the voice of the tempter, the voice of the difficulties that you are unable to overcome. . . It is very important not to journey alone.
— Pope Francis
