The journey of man towards divinization constitutes a relentless struggle, a challenging path, a lifelong internal martyrdom, or a continuous invisible war that is externalized through voluntary ascetic exercises.
However, what is overlooked or forgotten is that all these real or symbolic battles are not fights for dominance. They are struggles that the believer engages in, both collectively and personally, to build or restore unity with themselves, with others, and primarily with the crucified and resurrected Jesus Christ.
He who inspires and orchestrates the trials of love and crowns those who strive and suffer for its attainment.
By approaching specific, historical, and named examples, the present volume highlights different versions of holiness as achievements of reconciliation, harmony, peace, and unity.
