In a time characterized by the logic of anonymous systems, looming catastrophes and increasing violence, spirituality represents a possible resource for humanity, resilience and resistance. This requires relating spirituality as an individual, personal and dynamic relationship to the spiritual, to transcendence and to the living God to public institutions and organizational structures, so that spirituality becomes effective in the public, ecclesiastical and political spheres. The lecture explores the productive tension between spirituality and organization in the context of a catastrophic present. It traces how the turn to synodality is testing new ways of linking spirituality and organization that connect the hierarchical moment of the church with processes and structures of communal discernment and participatory decision-making, so that the church takes shape as the messianic people of God in fellowship with all people and creatures.
