- Title
EL DESEO, MOTOR DE LA VIDA.
- Authors
GIOVANNI CUCCI, S. J.
- Abstract
The article discusses the themes of desire and affection in the context of spirituality and, specifically, of the Catholic life. The author clarifies the nature of spiritual desire as an extension of physical desire, an indicator of the human condition's need for completion from elsewhere. Topics of desire analyzed in the text include the dialogue between desire and limits, the relationship between pain and desire, which results in a crisis, and the concept that a cure, or a healing, is the ultimate objective of a spiritual yearning. The Biblical example of St. Thomas' doubt upon encountering the resurrected Christ is offered.
