Throughout history, numerous prominent figures within the Church have proposed diverse mystical paths. Perhaps the most widely recognised and illustrative example among these is the Triple Way. Saint Bonaventure's treatise, De Triplici Via, presents a hierarchical framework for the Christian's spiritual journey, drawing upon the ideas of Pseudo-Dionysius.
The mystical path unfolds in three phases: purification, illumination and union with God. The text provides a series of spiritual exercises to foster inner growth.
This itinerary involves virtuous practices that lead to continuous spiritual progress. St. Bonaventure demonstrates how God works through grace within the human heart, enabling individuals to experience His presence intimately. It is a journey of inner transformation that culminates in a vivid and tangible experience of God.
Purification is a time of self-reflection, allowing for a transformation that leads to a life of constant growth.
It is a matter of "making space" both externally and internally, through detachment from that which hinders our intimacy with God. A firm determination creates the conditions for grace to work within us, setting us free at the deepest level.
The illuminative phase is marked by a profound shift, as the Holy Trinity inspires all our thoughts and actions, guiding us along our spiritual journey.
The Lord enlightens us with His wisdom when we open our hearts and minds to Him through meditation and unwavering faith. There is a transformative "encounter" between our availability and God's wisdom, which grants us grace and light in abundance, inspiring us to praise Him for all His wonders.
Lastly, there is the unitive, stage, where the person experiences the consciousness of being dwelt in by the Most Holy Trinity. One lives in the marvel of the mystical path, like a dance, like the circular flow of the ocean's water. We are at the spiritual maturity of the Christian who arrives at the pinnacle of their faith journey.
DETAILS AND BOOKING
To experience the transforming union with the Triune God, a person is called to release all that hinders their spiritual growth. In this way, the path is opened that leads to an ever-increasing openness to grace. It is a true journey of freedom.
The more we practice virtue, the more we transform and become receptive to God's grace. There is a powerful synergy between our virtuous actions and God's transformative grace as we journey spiritually. This synergy opens us up to divine wisdom.
When the heart is receptive to grace, a beautiful harmony arises between human openness and divine wisdom. The radiant light of the Triune God illuminates the entire being, awakening a profound sense of self. Now the person contemplates the wonders of God and raise hymns of praise to Him.
Contemplation brings a new experience of the Trinity, one that goes beyond the ordinary, allowing one to "see" and "experience" it in a way that goes beyond normal understanding. It is a sense of being God's dwelling place and, simultaneously, residing within Him.
