    Abstract

    This thesis employs the metaphor of maternal embrace to present a theological paradigm for the spiritual direction practice of encountering God’s grace through embodied and lived experience. The metaphor and nature of divine maternal embrace is articulated through the three motifs of nurturing, enabling and enduring.
