Summary/Abstract: Today, perhaps more than ever, the definition of the human being as a being of gracewith a dialogical structure is imperative, because of contemporary challenges thatthreaten the person with desacralization, reducing him or her from the crown ofcreation to a simple egocentric individual heading towards nowhere. The removal ofman from the sacred, through society's increasingly ephemeral offerings, threatensthe dignity of the human being as a graceful being capable of dialogue andcommunion with the Persons of the Holy Trinity, instead offering him materialelements that can in no way satisfy man's aspiration to the absolute. If, aftercreation, the human soul spiritualized the body, raising it to the state of dialoguewith God, today the soul is threatened with "materialization", in the sense ofreducing human nature to the sensory.
