- Title
Lo que siente la menor de las almas. Teresa de Lisieux y los sentimientos.
- Authors
MARTÍNEZ GONZÁLEZ, EMILIO JOSÉ
- Abstract
Feelings are an essential part of human life, of our universe of relationships. Unfortunately, religious life has not traditionally been an appropriate space in which to express them, and the same is true of the Teresian Carmel. The Carmel of Lisieux where St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus lived, in line with this general tendency and guided by the particular norms that governed the life of the French Carmelites at the end of the 19th century, favored a strict discipline in the control of feelings which led to a a conventual environment very poor in human qualities and weak in religiosity. Teresa of Lisieux was nonetheless able to experience positive feelings--rooted in love--of joy, happiness, affection and good humor, in the midst of suffering.
