GONZALEZ SUAREZ, Lucero. The “Dark Night” as Mysteryophany. A Phenomenological Approach. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2018, vol.68, n.185, pp.69-96. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx68-185.nomaf.

This article is a phenomenological approach to the mysteryophahy of dark night. The intention is the imperfections of the beginners derived from meditation, in order to show why they need to be introduced into the mystical process’ second phase, which includes the passive night of the sense and the active night of the spirit, and its benefits. The importance of those pages is to exhibit the identity between the purgative contemplation, described by St. John of the Cross in the “Ascent of Mount Carmel” and in the “Dark Night of the Soul”.

Palabras clave : St. John of the Cross; negative mysteryophany; dark night; passive dark night of the sense; active dark night of the Spirit.
