Main Article Content
Abstract
Professor Carmelo Granado continues to offer us translations of select works by early medieval spiritual authors. In this case it is a delicate consideration by Richard of San Victor on the virtue of charity that deeply marked the spirituality of the time. The Victorine establishes a comparison between profane love and charity. In both cases, love hooks the person. But in the case of profane love, as the degrees advance, love becomes increasingly dangerous and harmful; while in the love of violent charity, the soul feels more and more linked and absorbed in God, until in the fourth degree, which is the most sublime, the soul returns to devote itself to caring for its brothers as well.
