Within the Church there exists a number of spiritualities, distinct ways of praying and living out the Christian Life. Spiritualities can help provide individuals with a particularly fitting guide in their personal approach to God, in their witness and work in the world, and in their own personal fulfillment. A person’s spirituality can shape and encompass their entire life.

Every distinct spirituality will emphasize the living out of the same general pillars essential to a truly Christian life: A) Belief in the Church’s teachings, B) Reception of the Sacraments, C) Moral action according to the Church teachings, D) A serious life of prayer. While these are the areas that every spirituality will fulfill, it is in the how each spirituality fulfills these, that makes them unique.
