“Más perfecto grado de perfección a que en esta vida se puede llegar”. The aim of spiritual development in the texts of John of the Cross
Original language description
This study offers a theological-spiritual interpretation of the experience expressed in John of the Cross's "The living f lame of love." It builds on M. Hlaváčová's thesis, which analyzed the link between the Johannine Christology of the Incarnate Word and its reinterpretation in John's poem "In principio erat Verbum." While Hlaváčová highlighted the "mysticism of the Incarnate Word of God" inspired by John's Gospel, this study further investigates the motif of the Word-Spouse in "The living f lame of love." It shows how this spiritual experience forms an arc of John's vision of salvation: its origin in "In principio erat Verbum" culminates in "The living f lame," where union with God is described through the touch of the Word-Spouse-Christ at the core of existence. This touch opens the human subject to a "Pentecostal experience" of the Spirit, symbolized by f lame. This study explores how such ultimate transcendence is perceived and ref lected by the human subject.
