What is FIAT Spirituality, continued
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Basically the problem is spiritual individualism. If you are alone in your
spiritual life you are ineffective. God's plan was revealed to us through Jesus
Christ, and the four words of Jesus are: Love, Pray, Go, Teach. We all need to
realize our responsibilities to the community more fully. We know about love and
prayer, but we are weak in our zeal to go forth and make God's kingdom known.
Religious faith must be brought to bear on all aspects of life: social,
cultural, educational, recreational. Working alone achieves very little in
spreading the joy of Christianity to one and all. The best intentions and the
best efforts of isolated individuals will fail to achieve substantial, lasting
effects.
Fiat Spirituality is a powerful formula for
achieving that animating principle so desperately needed in today's world. It
rests on the Christian doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ in all its
details which includes the Divine Maternity of Mary and the sanctifying presence
of the Holy Spirit, the very well-spring of Christ's life. Once understood and
implemented this doctrine will provide the motivating power. We must see every
person, in every place as part of Christ's body or potentially part of it. FIAT
SPIRITUALITY provides a vision and spiritual dynamism which will create a world
force-harnessed to lift up the whole world to Christ, who is our joy and our
strength.
