Abstract(s)
«Caminhamos à luz da fé e não da visão» (2 Cor 5,7) mas o que aconteceria se essa luz simplesmente se viesse a apagar? Eis a duríssima prova de fé que Teresa de Lisieux sofreu no ocaso da sua vida quando a sua alma foi invadida pelas «mais espessas trevas».
Qual foi a resposta dada por Teresa de Lisieux à comumente chamada «noite espiritual»? Pode o seu testemunho desta experiência espiritual iluminar a vida de fé dos cristãos do século XXI? Estas duas perguntas guiaram a investigação desta dissertação que se divide em três partes. Na primeira parte, estuda-se o seu contexto histórico e espiritual. Numa segunda parte, ocupamo-nos da descrição do itinerário espiritual desta santa carmelita, particularmente do seu Ato de Oferecimento como Vítima de Holocausto ao Amor Misericordioso de Deus. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, fazemos um estudo hermenêutico da espiritualidade desta Santa Doutora da Igreja, o qual nos ajudará a compreender o sentido reparador da resposta de amor a Deus que está na base do Ato de Oferecimento e o novo sentido eclesial que imprimiu a dita noite da fé: a solidariedade com os descrentes.
«For we walk by faith, not by sight» (2 Cor 5,7) but what would happen if that light simply went out? This was the hardest of ordeals that Therese of Lisieux suffered at the end of her life when her faith was put to test by the «thickest darkness». What was Therese of Lisieux’s response to what is commonly called the «dark night of the soul»? Can her testimony of this spiritual experience enlighten the faith of christians in the 21st century? These two questions guided the investigation for this dissertation which is divided into three parts. In the first part we study her historical and spiritual context. In the second part we describe the spiritual journey of this carmelite saint, particularly her Act of Holocaust as Victim of God’s Merciful Love. Finally, in the third chapter, we make a hermeneutical study of the spirituality of this Saint Doctor of the Church, which will help us understand the healing dimension of her loving response to God at the basis of the Act of Oblation and the new ecclesial sense that she imprinted on the so called night of faith: solidarity with unbelievers.
