When Pope Benedict XVI called for the year of faith (October 11, 2012, until November 24, 2013), he invited the people of God to seek spiritual direction, for even the most devout Catholics have questions or struggle with elements of the faith or desire more focus. Where there are those in need of spiritual direction, there are those able to provide it. The purpose of this book is, therefore, to adequately prepare those engaging in the ministry of spiritual direction. The aim and objective of this ministry is to open our directees to the assistance of the Holy Spirit so that they may all discern how to be more fully themselves in Christ.
