The course aims to provide the tools to help implement the theological-spiritual elements underlying the ecclesial ministry of spiritual direction, which pursues the service of accompanying the believer to: live the fullness of his baptism in communal union with God the Father in Christ in the Holy Spirit, in active participation in the life of the Church and in witnessing to his Christianity in the world. This ministry also guides one to spiritual and spiritual discernment, as a progressive apprenticeship of the baptised person’s listening and acting in accordance with the motions and action of the Holy Spirit in him.
