Spiritual Direction & Meditation

This booklet contains a revised and considerably expanded version of the material on spiritual direction and meditation which appeared, in installments, in the magazine Sponsa Regis. The first part is addressed to the Christian, particularly the religious, who seeks a spiritual director or who has one, and wishes to take full advantage of his opportunities. At the same time, it is hoped that some priests who are too shy to regard themselves as potential "spiritual directors" may, by reading these pages, learn to overcome their natural hesitations and, relying on the help of God, be emboldened to give advice and encouragement in the confessional when there is time to do so.
