Does a spiritual director tell me what I should do?

A spiritual director does not literally “direct” you, so to speak. S/he refrains from advice-giving and does not seek to “fix” a directee or control the outcome of the conversations. Rather, the director always seeks to honor the journey of the directee as uniquely hers/his. The director does, however, discern with the directee the movement of God’s Spirit in his/her life.
