As a synonym for the inner man (homo<br />interior) it encompasses the whole life: affective, intellectual, moral and<br />religious. In this sense, it is the privileged place for a personal encounter<br />with God.<br />Analysis of Augustine’s writings reveals a link between the concept of<br />the Trinity and indications concerning the spiritual life of man. Reflections<br />on the “heart” can be put into a kind of triptych: creation “in the image<br />of God”, enlightenment by Christ, and expansion by the Holy Spirit. The<br />impact of God on the human heart should find their completion in a voluntarily<br />adopted attitude of adoration, humility and love. ER -
