La vida contemplativa femenina a la luz de VDq. Una aproximación teológica.

One of the main novelties of the Apostolic Constitution Vultum Dei quaerere is that it provides a renewed vision of the contemplative life based on its most radical element: the search for God. This relational concept of God-nun-community allows us to sketch the outline of a theology of the contemplative life which understands it as a response to the deepest longings of the human heart, while situating it as a sensitivity and closeness to the needs of men and women of today, who thirst for God. This proposal constitutes a novelty when compared with the Apostolic Constitution Sponsa Christi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
