Spiritual Counselors & Advisors

The Spiritual Counselor is an ordained priest but also a team member just like the other members, and yet he occupies a particular position.  He is a team member, guide and friend.

The Priest Counselor and the Spiritual Accompaniment in Teams of Our Lady

The essential mission of the Counselor is “to be a sign of presence 
of God”, but that doesn’t mean that he fulfills the mission for which he was sent to the team just by being there. The Priest’s Spiritual accompaniment to a team on the path to holiness for its members develops along three axes, by being: at the service of conjugal love, at the service of the Magisterium and at the service of communion.

In recent years, it has become more difficult for each team to be accompanied by a priest.  The priest, as Spiritual Counselor, is invited to walk with the other members of the team or even with several teams in our Movement.  Due to the reduction of vocations and priestly ordination, this has become more difficult.  Therefore, a Spiritual Advisor may be asked to assist teams.  A Spiritual Advisor may be a deacon in preparation for the priesthood, a permanent deacon, a layman, or religious.
