THE “SOLITARY WALK” IN THE PASSIONIST CONGREGATION<br />
Philippe Plet, C.P.<br />
This is the second part of his article published in Sap Cr, XX (2005), pp.<br />
167-187<br />
A point in the Passionist Constitutions which at a cursory glance might<br />
appear of <strong>seconda</strong>ry importance affords our author substance for reflection<br />
which is important in order to understand the pedagogy of the Founder of the<br />
Passionista. These reflections go so far as to study the theme of union with<br />
God in a delicate equilibrium between the tensions of ascesis and Tauler’s<br />
“Gellasenheit” mysticism. Very relevant in our present day is Paul of the<br />
Cross’ sensitivity toward nature, conceived as the privileged ambience for the<br />
contemplation of God.
