Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities of interpreting and understanding the Christian view of disability, to offer the possibilities of a spiritual perspective related to persons with disabilities and to present theological assumptions for understanding such a condition. The paper presents the view of Jesus Christ and the Church's attitude to disability as a phenomenon and reflections on the possibilities and ways of accepting such a health condition from a religious perspective, taking into account the broader social and media context. The intention of the paper is to open space for creating more adequate ways for spiritual comfort and acceptance of disability through understanding this condition from different positions. Starting from the point of compassion and care for the individual, it is necessary to consider the vision, ideas and fundamental values of the Catholic Church towards these issues, as well as the media and society as a whole, not only to provide such people with spiritual support and support. the environment better understood the theological aspects of interpreting the lives of people with disabilities. In order to build a better quality of life for all, while creating and creating a more tolerant society and a more adequate social and media model, it is necessary to get closer to God's perspective on disability and understand what opportunities for personal development life with people with disabilities brings. This paper therefore provides an overview of the literature, previous research, but also different views and possibilities of thinking about this problem.
