Urban life is characterized by various difficulties, especially in terms of the economy, poverty levels and high population density. This reality causes many individuals to feel burdened by the existing challenges, and it even has a big impact on the individual's spirituality. This research focuses on the influence of the practice of Divine Mercy Devotion on the spiritual growth of people in urban parish environments, from the perspective of James W. Fowler. The research method uses a quantitative approach by utilizing a Google Form questionnaire to collect data from respondents who are involved in the Divine Mercy devotion. The research results show that the higher the level of involvement in devotional practices, the stronger the individual's spiritual growth in the context of the parish community. The results of the research become the basis for new theology to increase people's awareness of God's mercy and grace in everyday life. Awareness of Divine mercy inspires dedication to always rely on God in life. In the context of spiritual growth, this devotion also creates a closer relationship with God and others. Practical devotion to Divine Mercy makes a significant contribution to the spiritual growth of the people, strengthening relationships with fellow believers and the surrounding environment. Effectively, each person is able to integrate Christian values, social service, personal growth, and concern for the environment, creating a strong and loving community and helping individuals achieve spiritual growth, establishing full confidence in God in the midst of increasingly complex urban activities.
