Sainte Thérèse d’Avila. Veni, Creator Spiritus

Abstract

Les descriptions que sainte Thérèse d’Avila donna de l’expérience du ravissement doivent être comprises phénoménologiquement à l’intérieur de sa tentative pour atteindre la plus grande exactitude et fidélité dans la restitution de l’expérience spirituelle. Quel est l’apparaître propre à l’esprit ? Les relations extrêmement précises du Livre de la vie et du Château intérieur appartiennent à la tradition paulinienne fondée en II Co 12, 2-4. Elles représentent le ravissement en tant que transport devant la Majesté de Dieu et détachement qui inaugure la liberté dans sa plénitude.

The descriptions by saint Teresa of Jesus of her ravishments can be understood in a phenomenological way as an attempt to reach exactness and fidelity in the restitution of spiritual experience. How does spirit appear? The extremely precise descriptions of the Book of Life and of The Interior Castle belong to the Pauline tradition of II Co 12, 2-4. All of them represent the ravishment as transport in front of the Majesty of God and detachment by which freedom begins in its plenitude.
