Am I a disciple of Coca-Cola spirituality?

Am I a disciple of Coca-Cola spirituality?

By Fr. Bernard Holzer

“Unfortunately, there are many disciples of Coca-Cola spirituality”, told Pope Francis last November 5 at the Pontifical Gregorian university in Rome. What does this mean?

Pope Francis calls us to be focused on our true identity as Christian, as disciple of Jesus, to search trust and to take risks. He said:

“The search for truth is arduous because it forces us to step out of ourselves, to take risks, to question ourselves. This is why, in the fatigue of the mind, we are more attracted to a superficial life that does not ask too many questions, just as we are drawn to an ‘easy’ faith, light, comfortable, that never questions anything.”

Am I a disciple of Coca-Cola spirituality with an easy, light, comfortable faith that never questions anything?

Help me, Lord, to become a disciple of your Gospel, to read and meditate the Scriptures, to beg for the Holy Spirit, to be his witness in the world.
