A mature spiritual guide will give evidence of several “gifts” or “traits” that have developed in him or her through formation as a spiritual director. 
 

• An ability to hold conversations in strict confidentiality
• Evidence of a prayerful spirit
• An ability to listen intently and non-judgmentally to what others say
• A steady willingness to wait in silence listening for the Holy Spirit’s voice
• A capacity for contemplative recollection

St. Peter upon the Water offers a three-year Spiritual Formation Program (for more information, see the Spiritual Formation Program tab) from which we can recommend spiritual directors; these individuals, or others from another approved formation program, are well-formed in the contemplative tradition.
