Spiritual Direction is, in reality, nothing more
than a way of leading us to see and obey
the real Director - the Holy Spirit hidden
in the depths of our soul.

Contemplative Prayer
& Spiritual Practices
Jesus teaches me in my heart
without the noise of words.
-Therese of Lisieux
In the beginning our prayers are usually thoughts expressed in words.
When we get to the point of contemplation, the thoughts subside,
the words disappear and there is simply loving rather than speaking.
-Fr. William Meninger, Contemplative Outreach
Neo-Monastic Resources
& Community Formation
The restoration of the church will surely come only from a new type of monasticism
which has nothing in common with the old but a complete lack of compromise
in a life lived in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount in the discipleship of Christ.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
