| Summary: | This article proposes a relevant and tentative spirituality for missionaries who work with migrants in a world which is characterized by the phenomenon of human mobility. This spirituality is founded on four pillars: the human drama of migrations; a critique of the absolutization of the monastic spiritual tradition; the retrieval of the biblical tradition of the migrant God, the God of the tent; and a concrete commitment to the option of the poor. It is best described by the prophet Micah's famous imperative to “walk humbly with your God” (6:8): a spirituality for the journey inviting us to follow a migrant God together with a migrant people toward the dream of the reign. |
