Chrześcijańskie doświadczenie mistyczne według sługi Bożego Wincentego Granata

Abstract

The mystical life is a living participation in God's life, and the mystical death is dying - for Him - of an old, sinful man. In the Granat's thought, both, the mystical life and the mystical death, have the positive significance. These two experiences are the participation in the experience of God - Man, who with love for the creature lived and died, but He rose from the dead to make it rise from the dead, too. As the theologian he has proved that the mystical experience of many holy mystics confirms the truth about the existence of the Only God in Three Persons showed in the Holy Scripture and tl1e Tradition. But the given commonly on a baptism the experience of the unification with God in Jesus Christ - in the Offering of Holy Mass, in the experience of suffering with Him and dying - has the power which can change the „creature's" life, in both the dimention of a single man and the society and even in a global and cosmic dimention. Because it makes an individual responsable for a reconstruction of the world and for achievement of the eternal goal by the mankind. And at the same time it stresses that every man is worth Christ's suffering for him, and that for him He died and He rose from the dead.
