Spirituality is grounded in the everyday from "summary" of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything by James Martin
Spirituality can sometimes seem like an abstract and lofty concept, detached from the realities of everyday life. However, the truth is that spirituality is actually rooted in the ordinary and the mundane. It is in the simple moments of our daily lives that we can find God and connect with the divine. When we think of spirituality, we may envision grand gestures or elaborate rituals. But true spirituality is found in the small, seemingly insignificant moments of our lives. It is in the smile of a stranger, the laughter of a child, the warmth of the sun on our face. These are the moments that can open our hearts to the presence of God and deepen our spiritual awareness. Spirituality is not something that can be compartmentalized or confined to certain times or places. It is meant to permeate every aspect of our lives, from our work to our relationships to our leisure activities. When we approach each moment with mindfulness and openness, we can experience the divine in the most ordinary of experiences. In the Jesuit tradition, spirituality is often described as finding God in all things. This means that we can encounter the sacred in the most unexpected places – in the midst of a busy city street, in the quiet of a church, in the beauty of nature. By opening ourselves up to the possibility of encountering God in every moment, we can enrich our spiritual lives and deepen our connection to the divine.- Spirituality is not about escaping from the world or retreating into a secluded monastery. It is about fully engaging with the world around us and seeing every moment as an opportunity for spiritual growth. When we embrace the idea that spirituality is grounded in the everyday, we can begin to experience the sacred in the most ordinary moments of our lives.
