Companioning Others as They Share Their Sacred Stories

“Explore, discover, walk, respond, tell your story” are different ways of describing the spiritual journey in which we find ourselves. At different times in our lives we may question and long for a greater vision. In the Celtic tradition an anamcara or soul friend is one who walks with another as they seek a fuller life. St. Brigid of Kildare says, “There is no greater honor than to be with another as they journey Home. 

A person who dies without an anamcara is like a body without a head.” Spiritual Direction is an opportunity under the guidance and wisdom of a loving person to look at our lives and be attentive to the movement of God as we perceive it. The Spiritual Director guides us to listen to that still small voice within and helps us respond.
