RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE, LANGUAGE AND FREEDOM

Abstract

It is perceived in the academic world of theology and pastoral practice, a general and encompassing turn towards the subject, the experience, the gift of love, mercy, lived world of men and the experience of faith in the daily life of a secularized world. It is a craving to leave the simple conceptualization and endless discussions about faith, to give step to an experience of the believed and to a testimony that makes faith credible. The revolution that has led the pope Francisco is based on a radical following of Jesus in daily life, in the simple things, without many theological juggling, and with a big emphasis on the compassionate love of God. This article aims to present some reflec-tions that could help in this effort of founding the compassionate love’s donation, asking for the experience, the language used to express it and the freedom as response of the subject called at the time of the event.
