Testimonials of directees
I have discovered that there is something I cannot learn alone in our spiritual path, no matter how much I try and no matter how much I want. As I cannot perform an operation on myself, I need the spiritual hand of another I trust. A good spiritual director is such an "other." Thank you!
As always, Mary Sharon, thank you for your wonderful inspiration and guidance.
