Spirituality does not mean acting as a "superman", but it is hanging on the cross.
The spirituality of Jesus is martyrdom,a lonely death, and the cry of Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani...
Spirituality of Jesus revealed in everyday life, social space, and in this history...
Jesus spirituality is to cast out the demons, the demons that destructs life and oppress the poor...
The cross of Jesus is the climax of his spiritual struggle....
Jesus was not stoned to death as a religious criminal, but put on the cross as a political criminal - a religio-political criminal.....
The temptations of the devil.....avoid taking up the costly discipleship...look for the 'safe life'.....bow your heads in front of satan.....
The new 'spiritual icons' asks us to gain individual and private comfort....
They never asks us to risk our life for others....for the causes of justice and peace......but our God asks us to risk our life for others.....
But Jesus said, "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple"(Luke: 14:26,27).
