Keywords: God; Church; Father; Spiritual Son
Summary/Abstract: In this study, we have attempted to structure a few aspects related to the capacity of son of the Church and of God. By emphasising the father-son relationship, we aimed to highlight the condition of men called to holiness. Man lives in society but also stays a son of the Church, and the communion with God through Church, and not on one’s own and selfishly, is the one and true opportunity of his sanctification. We intend here to provide a small “guide” showing how we can become good apprentices and sons of the Church, how we can reach the path of Christian accomplishment and personal fulfilment as human beings.
