Psalm 143 In you I put my trust
Sirach 6:5-17 Faithful friends
In the tradition of Celtic Spirituality there is a practice called Anam Cara – The friend of the Soul. A soul friend is someone who walks the spiritual journey with you as a source of wise advice and encouragement. This is a practice that is being reclaimed in our world today known as Spiritual Direction. One’s soul friend or faithful friend is a person who listens and helps one access wisdom which is already present in ourselves. The simple act of being present is enough. In this monastic approach to spirituality which considers faith as the whole of one’s life not just an hour on Sunday we are simply asked to place our trust in the Divine and in our soul friend.
