Feeling Lost When It Comes to Accompaniment?
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
Accompaniment isn’t just walking beside someone.
It’s sacred. It’s complex. And at times… it’s confusing.
This short, powerful guide will help you find your footing and walk with others faithfully.
You want to do this well…
You’re showing up with a willing heart.
You care deeply.
You want to be present and pastoral—not pushy or performative.
But what does “accompaniment” even look like?
Let’s be honest:
Sometimes ministry leaves you wondering…
Am I helping, or just hovering?
Am I truly listening, or just giving advice?
Am I walking with them — or dragging them along?
If this sounds familiar, this resource is for you.
Inside you’ll find:
Wisdom from real ministry experience (the beautiful and the bruising)
Clear distinctions between what accompaniment is — and isn’t
Practical pointers you can use right away
Reflection questions that deepen your awareness and your impact
You don’t need more pressure. You need more clarity.
This guide won’t solve all your ministry challenges.
But it will give you a clearer starting point — and some peace of mind — as you walk with others.
You’re not doing this work alone. Let’s walk together.
There’s someone out there who needs your presence.
Let’s help you show up with confidence and compassion.

This short guide offers clarity, encouragement, and direction for walking with others in life and faith.
The Church will have to initiate everyone - priests, religious and laity - into this “art of accompaniment” which teaches us to remove our sandals before the sacred ground of the other.
The pace of this accompaniment must be steady and reassuring, reflecting our closeness and our compassionate gaze which also heals, liberates and encourages growth in the Christian life.”
Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 169
