I enjoyed the first episode of Divine Intimacy radio. I have been an admirer of Dan Burke for quite some time. I am an OCDS and find Spiritual Direction important in my life. What Spiritual Direction is needs to be understood by all Christians and especially Roman Catholics. Few Catholics make an effort to find a Spiritual Director and when they do, they generally are not familiar with how to choose one. I think this program will be valuable to all who care about deepening their faith and relationship with God. Thank you. I look forward to the next program.
