ABSTRACT

The spiritual growth is outlined in context of personality development in the whole life span. W. Meissner’s view on grace as personality trait and J. Loder’ s double negation as the logic of spirit are reviewed in the framework of E. Erikson’s personality developmental theory. Themes on the spiritual growth are structured in terms of personality developmental crisis, its overcoming processes, pathologies, dynamics of helping grace and its fruits. The map of internal growth in the whole life span might hopefully function as a guide to praying for the Grace by confessing where we are when God asks “where are you?”
