The God of Jesus Foundation of Christian Spirituality

Abstract

We can not speak of Christian spirituality without referring to Jesus of Nazareth who, with his committed practice, communicates to us that correct image of God in order to found a correct spirituality.

Nevertheless, throughout history many images of God have been constructed, which have inspired different spiritualities that, to be distant from the God revealed by Jesus, became alienating and destructive to Christian life. Hence, we need to return to Jesus and discover God in the image of the loving and merciful Father for a healthy spirituality of openness and recognition for ourselves and others.
