SILVA, Daniel Carvalho da. Martirial Spirituality: A Latin American Faith Experience. Franciscanum [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.177, pp.11-11.  Epub 12-Out-2022. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.5347.

This article brings up a theoretical-narrative reflection on what has been called «Martyrial Spirituality». The conceptualization of spirituality and martyrdom took place through exploratory-bibliographic research. The central discussion was woven in dialogue, above all, with the theological studies of Casaldáliga, Sobrino and Gutierrez. The conclusions point in the sense that Martyrdom Spirituality is not related to the desire to be a martyr. Nor is martyrdom related to the conception of the bloody sacrifice as the redeemer of sin. Martyrdom Spirituality concerns fidelity to the Gospel of the persecuted and martyr, Jesus of Nazareth. Likewise, it concerns fidelity to the current and concrete historical reality in which the Christian must announce good news to the poor and denounce structural injustice. Finally, it concerns the memory of the death of the innocent and the line of followers of Jesus who were martyred.

Palavras-chave : Spirituality; Martyrdom; Spirit of Jesus; Persecution; Memory.
