About Us
The purpose of this site and related resources is to serve you in your journey to and with God. If you are like many Catholics who desire a deeper relationship with Christ and His church, you have probably discovered that the paths to pursuing that relationship are not always clearly illuminated. Thus this humble effort. Our desire is bring greater light to His path and to serve you in your search for greater depth in Him.
That said, no blog, book, or retreat can take the place of healthy Spiritual Direction. Instead, these tools help us form healthy perspectives and improve our opportunities to grow in faith and to participate in the important work of our journey to God.
What you will find here:
- Questions and Answers about Spiritual Direction
- Perspective on Spiritual Direction
- Perspective on Prayer and other Matters Relating to Our Spiritual Growth
- Book and Resource Reviews
- Links to Resources for Further Spiritual Development
The source of the content will come from several places:
Dan Burke - Dan is the founder of the Catholic Spiritual Direction apostolate. He has a passion to know Christ and to help others to come to more fully know the depths and riches of His love and grace. Dan provides perspective on spiritual direction and related topics and manages all aspects of this effort and this site. Dan’s perspective on prayer and spiritual direction is primarily informed by the Carmelite tradition and the spiritual doctors of the Church. Click here to read Dan’s testimony from EWTN’s Coming Home Network. Send him an e-mail at RCCSDan@gmail.com if you are interested in having him provide a talk on his conversion, prayer, or the spiritual life.
Father John Bartunek, LC – Father John provides a steady flow of profound and practical answers to questions on the spiritual life along with weekly meditations from his book, The Better Part – A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer. To learn more Father John, listen to a few of his homilies, or find out where he is speaking next, click here.
Other Priests, Spiritual Directors, and Authors: Other authors may provide content as requested – these will also be signed by them at the bottom of each post though Dan Burke will show as the person who published the post.
Stephanie Burke – Stephanie writes on the topic of marriage and family spirituality and is the editor of all the posts (however, if you find an error, it is Dan’s fault!).
Web Design – The website was designed by the magnificent Tim Norton of CatholicThemes.com
God bless you in your pursuit of Him!
