Spanish spirituality, Vincentian, Teresa of Ávila, John of the CrossRésumé
Cet article explore l'influence profonde de la spiritualité espagnole du XVIe siècle sur le développement de la pensée et de la pratique vincentiennes. La spiritualité espagnole est apparue comme une tradition profondément affective et christocentrique, enracinée dans un contexte historique marqué par la réforme religieuse, le mysticisme et l'expansion missionnaire. Elle mettait l'accent sur la prière intérieure, l'union divine, le discernement, l'humilité et la charité active, incarnées par des figures telles que Thérèse d'Ávila, Jean de la Croix, Jean d'Ávila et Ignace de Loyola. L'étude retrace la manière dont ces courants de spiritualité espagnole ont été transmis aux mouvements de réforme catholique français du XVIIe siècle, façonnant finalement l'éthique apostolique de saint Vincent de Paul et de la Congrégation de la Mission. En examinant les chemins historiques et les continuités thématiques - telles que l'attention à la Providence, la synthèse de la contemplation et de l'action, et le renouveau de la prédication paroissiale - l'article démontre que la spiritualité vincentienne n'est pas seulement parallèle à l'héritage mystique et pastoral de la spiritualité espagnole, mais qu'elle lui est profondément redevable. Loin d'être confinée aux cloîtres ou aux contextes religieux élitistes, la spiritualité espagnole s'est révélée remarquablement adaptable. Elle a inspiré une théologie pratique de la miséricorde et de la mission qui continue d'influencer la vie pastorale catholique aujourd'hui.
