| Summary: | En el otoño de 1941 Thomas Merton descubre a Santa Teresa de Lisieux a través de la lectura del libro de Henri Ghéon The Secret of the Little Flower siendo profesor en St. Bonaventure College. Desde entonces "La Florecita" le acompañará a lo largo de toda su aventura vital, influyendo decisivamente en su vocación religiosa y en su entrada en el monasterio de Nuestra Señora de Getsemaní (Kentucky, USA). A lo largo del presente estudio, realizaremos una breve pero apasionante promenade por las claves centrales del pensamiento de Thomas Merton, tratando de desentrañar su estrecha correspondencia con la doctrina teresiana conocida como "la pequeña vía o caminito" a la vez que centrando nuestra atención en la relevancia que ambos conceden al abandono u olvido de uno mismo en favor del amor. Todo un arriesgado viaje espiritual por los laberintos de la noche oscura del alma que culmina en las nupcias con el Amado, pudiendo decir con San Pablo: "Ya no soy yo, es Cristo quien vive en mí". In the fall of 1941 Thomas Merton discovered St. Thérèse of Lisieux through the reading of Henri Ghéon's book The Secret of the Little Flower while he was a lecturer of English at St. Bonaventure College. Since then "The Little Flower" will accompany him all along his life adventure, having a great influence on his religious vocation and his decision to become a monk at the monastery of Our Lady of Gethsemani (Kentucky, usa). This study reveals the main points of Thomas Merton's religious thought which are closely related to Therese's doctrine known as "the little way", focusing its attention on the relevance that both thinkers grant to the notion of abandonment or forgetfulness of oneself in favor of love. A risky spiritual journey through the labyrinths of the dark night of the soul that leads to the mystical union with the Beloved, being able to say with St. Paul: "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me". |
