The History of Spirituality Hurts My Brain

Unfortunately, that's what I'm writing for my BA

But the concept of discipleship here has two meanings. The first is that of an imitative following of Christ, while the second denotes a Pauline participation in him. Spirituality therefore has two poles: one is local, rooted in our own specific cultural, historical and psychological situation and is visible as diversity, while the other is universal, located in the person of Christ himself, and is unified. The first pole expresses the way that the Gospel acts upon us in our own unique situation, while the second points to the supernatural and open-ended character of our discipleship as we are increasingly drawn into the mystery of the Church, as the mystical Body of Christ. The unity and integrity of Christian spirituality is guaranteed therefore by the unity of Christ, while its forms will be as diverse and multifaceted as is human experience itself and the human person.
