Missionary attitude as an essential dimension of Catholic Spirituality

Summary/Abstract: For, on one hand, the missionary activity of the Church is the work of the Holy Spirit, who is also the main creator of spiritual life. It is one of the most important tasks and goals of the Christ’s Church. This means that missionary attitude is an essential dimension of Christian spirituality. The whole Christian life, especially spirituality, understood as a fruit of the cooperation with the Holy Spirit, is permeated with missionary attitude to such a degree that it should be said that Christian spirituality is simply a missionary spirituality. Its unique feature is the particular docility to the Holy Spirit. Joy is an important feature of missionary spirituality, and apostolic love up to Christ’s standard. It is a love for the Church as Christ’s Mystical Body. It is a radical ecclesial love, which does not evade the toils of missionary work, and even the sacrifice of one’s own life. An another important feature of missionary spirituality is striving for sanctity, because Christian spirituality is a function of holiness, that is – it remains in the service of holiness.
