Desert Hope Spiritual Direction

---

We are spiritual beings created by the Divine-God.  Our pilgrimage or journey to the Divine represents our sacred life story as it is revealed in our everyday life.  Our lives expose our connection to or our disconnection from God, ourselves and others.  We, in the quietness of our souls, recognize something greater, something Transcendent calling us to our fuller selves--to the Divine.

Spiritual Direction enables one to develop a deeper relationship with the Divine.  It enables us to pay attention to God's personal communication to us, our personal response to Him, to grow in intimacy and love with Him and to live out the consequences of our relationship.
