Glimpses of Spanish Mysticism: The Legacy of Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross Between Italy and Spain
Abstract
This text explores Christian mysticism, focusing on the contributions of Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross, who emphasized spiritual union with God while rejecting materialism. Their writings underscore the concept of human dignity. It also connects their mystical views to Renaissance Humanism, which redefined human dignity as a divine connection that transcends social and ethnic boundaries. Teresa of Ávila and John of the Cross interpreted dignity in mystical terms, seeing it as a reflection of divine love and a Christ-centered understanding of human worth. The text further examines how Discalced Carmelite mysticism, as exemplified by works like Salvador Dalí's Christ of Saint John of the Cross (1951), transcends religious boundaries and affirms the dignity of all people. Their teachings continue to resonate across time and cultures.
