modo da abituare i nostri occhi giorno dopo giorno all’intensità troppo grande<br />

della Luce divina. Così, passo dopo passo, presto avremo fatto abbastanza<br />

cammino per superare le paure.<br />

(Traduzione dal francese di Lucia Ulivi)<br />

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.
