Viaţa duhovnicească – firescul vieţuirii ortodoxe în Biserică
Spiritual life – the natural way of living

Summary/Abstract: Spiritual life – the natural way of living. In the Orthodox Church spiritual life means the everyday activity of life in communion with God. The term spiritual life refers not merely to the activity of man’s spirit alone, his mind, heart and soul, but it refers as well to the whole of man’s life as inspired and guided by the Spirit of God. Every act of a Christian must be spiritual, every word, every deed, every activity of the body, every action of the person. This means that all that a person thinks, says and does must be inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit so that the will of God Father might be accomplished as revealed and taught by Jesus Christ the Son of God. This is the meaning and the substance of the orthodox life. Living a spiritual life means to advance to deification, to become a god by grace. One can get and live a spiritual life only in the Church, by the Holy Sacraments, adding his effort, strengthen by grace, to fulfill God’s will. Living a spiritual life is the only way to become free and happy.
