Abstract

When pondering about moral life and spiritual life, we are in danger of treating each issue separately, as if dealing with two isolated compartments where there is not a single relation between them. This fragmentation poses disastrous consequences for the believers, such as, for instance, the divorce between faith and life, in which God is transformed into a heavy burden for moral conscience. However, it cannot exist a moral life without an authentic spiritual life. These are two indissolubly attached dimensions in the life of believers, as they do not merely co-exist, but they mutually imply, condition, and construct each other. Thus, moral and spirituality cannot be presented, or live, as two isolated compartments.
