| Summary: | Recent church teachings reaffirm popular piety's significance, yet this common expression of prayer for numerous Catholics remains on the fringes of contemporary theology. Drawing from the Philippine context, the author considers how devotion to the Nazareno of Quiapo embodies a theology of salvation, where the prayer of the people in the grassroots reveals their yearning for wellbeing. Upholding the unity of contemplation and action, the author suggests that popular piety can transform into sacramental response to the prayer of suffering people when combined with actions that promote wellbeing as an "embodiment" of salvation in the world. |
