Summary/Abstract: The article presents the actuality and the potential of the Christian spirituality. First the attention is drew to the Christian theological interpretation of the genesis of the exclusions. Such an approach is essential to evaluate the Christian understanding of the exclusions and the importance of the overcoming them: the exclusions are not something normal, but pathological, the overcoming them is a  positive and necessary process. The process of the overcoming of the exclusions was thus shown to be an essential part of the realization of the mystery of creation-salvation both in its temporal and eschatological dimensions. On such a basis, i.e., in the light of the theological understanding of the genesis and the removal of the exclusions, the article shows some of the elements of the process of overcoming of the exclusions in the modern global-digital civilization.
