OLOTROPIA I verbi della familiarità cristiana

In these pages, after a presentation of the emerging anthropological question and of the Christian familiarity generated by Eucharistic communion, the verbs that characterize this familiarity on a daily basis are recalled, as a possibility given to rediscover the revealed truth about man, which certainly does not deny the different dimensions that distinguish the human being, such as biological, social and spiritual, but grants them in a harmonious and holotropic vision. The term comes from the Greek ʽòlos, "totality" and trepèin "to move towards". The verbs of Christian familiarity represent the fundamental actions of human relationships such as listening, loving, forgiving, but enlightened by the Word of Christ and his mystery of death and resurrection, so that in the experience of life man can thus discover his high dignity as a creature loved by the Lord to the point of being made a child in the Son.
