Karl M. Gaspar, CSsRDAVAO CITY — Life has taught me that spirituality is not a relationship with someone up there detached from the mundane day-to-day concerns; but rather it is a relationship built on experiences and praxis within the world with which we move around, with people, in events and with the felt realities fashioned by the Divine Creator.
Every bit of it brings us to discover the WHYs of life, leads us to the roots of our faith and takes us to the depths of our SOULS and eventually to the HEART of GOD. This is the most important message of this book – to bring us at the center of the heart of God. It is therefore a journey – not static but a movement – not simply a personal movement but a co-journey with the rest.
Br. Karl Gaspar, CSsR, in his new book DIWANG BALAAN/BANAL invites us to RE-MEMBER more deeply and creatively the source of our religiosity that makes its way to an authentic and meaningful connectivity to the source of life. He invites us to take on a journey, let me call it a decolonialization journey from a colonized mindset to freedom from colonialization.
The last chapters of the book signal the call to a spirituality of compassion, “being with” and/or solidarity with the most marginalized. Solidarity is a crossing over to the other, embracing the other’s joys and griefs, gains and pains in the struggle for justice. In other words, we are invited to justice-makingTAGS
