Abstract

This article analyzes Cordimarian spirituality as a Marian and Christocentric pattern of spiritual formation and apostolic action in the life and writings of St. Anthony Mary Claret. Using qualitative library research, the study examines Claret’s Autobiography and Complementary Writings, the 1975 Indonesian translation of his Autobiography, selected studies on Cordimarian spirituality, Claretian documents, and relevant Church teaching. The analysis proceeds through textual selection, thematic coding, theological interpretation, and comparison among primary, secondary, and ecclesial sources. The findings identify four interconnected dimensions: interiority and obedience to God, filial love received from the Heart of Mary, formation in Christ-like virtues, and apostolic charity directed toward the poor. On this basis, the article formulates a conceptual pathway for Christian faith education and spiritual formation: encounter with the Word, interior discernment, practice of virtue, and missionary service. Its contribution is to show that Cordimarian spirituality is not merely a devotional identity for Claretians but a transferable framework for faith formation, provided that it remains Christ-centered, socially responsible, and adapted to the age and context of the faithful.
