The aim of this work is to discuss how Christian spirituality is part of the
Western social world. We propose that Christian spirituality is based on the radical
commitment to follow Jesus Christ wholly, and observed in one s daily life
incarnated in the world among people and guided by love – externally
demonstrating its relevance to society, by offering oneself in loving service towards
the enemy, promoting peace. The notion of being contemporary in an occidental
society presents a complex and plural nature. It is structured based on the processes
of secularization and individualism, and presents a challenge to Christian
spirituality: to exist without being hegemonic, to become one among others in a
plural environment, while it is exploited to serve to a segment that pursues its
personal well-being. Incarnation implies historicity, then, it must assume today s
reality that is plural, secular and individualistic, religious and non-religious. To
guide the discussion, methodologically, we will follow the idea of an encounter that
will consider both philosophical and theological issues. First, lay spirituality , as
presented by the philosopher Luc Ferry, in his argument for passion-love ,
immanently considered, as the provocateur of the meaning in life , without the
need of a God or a metaphysical ideal, inserted in the period he defines as second
humanism . We discuss the role of Ferry s passion-love in all its extension and
limits. Then, we focus on Dietrich Bonhoeffer s incarnated and biographic
theology, which offers the possibility of agape-love that exceeds human possibility.
It reaches its climax in the extraordinary represented by the decision to follow
Christ, which means having love for one s enemy as the only possible commitment
for those who set themselves on a journey to follow, as a disciple, Christ s
teachings. After that social-historical contextualization and Ferry and Bonhoeffer s
proposals, we present a Christian spirituality that answers the issues of
contemporarity, acting as integral and integrating element in life, and recovering
the memory of Christianity in society, which loves the enemy and incarnates in
daily life by means of the biography of those who follow Jesus. As a result, we
focus on the still relevant role of Christians in today s society as promoting agents
of reconciliation and peace, and builders of community relationships based on love.
