A Spiritual Life Spirituality and spiritual formation are whole life matters. A "spiritual life" for the human being consists in that range of activities in which, being brought to spiritual birth by God's initiative through the Word, he or she cooperatively interacts with God and with the spiritual order ("kingdom") deriving from God's personality and action. The result is a new overall quality of human existence with corresponding new powers. A person is a "spiritual person" to the degree that his or her life is effectively integrated into and dominated by God's Kingdom or rule. For the "babe in Christ," much of their embodied and concretely socialized personality is not under the direction of God, and the reintegration of their whole life under God is not yet achieved.
