La Place de la Solitude dans la Vie Spirituelle.

Abstract

The author opines that in a frenzied effort to rid our lives of all solitude, we may miss the valuable chance to confront our human finitude before a beckoning Transcendent. In solitude we can draw creative energy from latent/spiritual sources. Religion and a religious attitude have solitude as their cornerstone. Sociability grows on the stem of a capacity or courage to be alone. Being alone is part and parcel of the very labour of love. The creative sources of solitude are in their turn due to One who is always present and reaching out to us in love: God. God has not only created us.
He has lived among us in his Son. He remains with us in His Spirit. At the limit, we can discover that a group of four is the basic unit of our moments of our well approached solitude: the Trinity and us.
