HELLO

The spiritual renewal is the growing process of the people into the image of God? In my personal opinion, the spiritual renewal is like want to be near or fine could be to God, is a personal decision about a spiritual process, but no only one day also the spirits need to be renewing each day. The people created in God´s image, for this reason, our conversion to God should be each day of our life.

In the page, above I could see a long article about Orthodox Spiritual Renewal and it took something to share with you.

In order to connect with and understand what other brothers and sisters think about Orthodox Spiritual Renewal, a questionnaire on the topic was prepared and mailed to a select group of 300 Orthodox Christians. Consequently, I took something about:

What people mean about Spiritual Renewal:

• “[A] rebirth of love for Christ and our Orthodox Christian faith in the hearts and minds of all our people, clergy and laity”
• “[C]continued growth to attain “Theosis” through the Church, which is the vehicle”
• “Christ-centered contemplation”
• “[B]ut we all . . . are being transformed (renewed) . . . by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). A personal experience/relationship with God’s Holy Spirit, bringing Spiritual Renewal.”
• “They will be done . . . for me personally it was similar to the story of the Prodigal Son’s repentance when He returned to His Father”
• “[O]ffering our people incentives and stimulation to re-evaluate their commitment to our Church and to Christ”

• “[A]ctive participation in the full sacramental life of the Church. For the baptized Orthodox Christian, this means full participation in Holy Confession, Holy Communion, and an active personal prayer life. The motive for the Christian would be just one – Jesus commanded this and I believe and love Him.”
• “[L]earning to live more fully with Christ at the center of life and family”
