La primera imagen del examen de conciencia en la espiritualidad ignaciana: orar con el Via vitae Aeternae (1620) de Antonius Sucquet SJ

Abstract

This year, it will be 400 years since the publication of the bestselling Via vitae aeternae (1620), by Flemish Jesuit Antoon Sucquet. Striking in its engravings, they no longer occupy the “composition of place” when meditating the life of Christ as in Nadal ́s posthumous Imagines (1593), but rather situate readers within the imagined space, as a pilgrim in the process of configuration with Christ, from meditation over contemplation to action. These images remarkably “narrate” visually and spatially the interior life with Christ. The image that represents the examination of conscience, which in fact is the first known of this theme, ingeniously combines both the particular and the general exam. It proposes an anagogical way towards the reunion with God, a laborious process of reconciliation before Christ, the merciful Judge. Because many engravings of this celebrated example of a 17th- century Ignatian lay spirituality influenced the first illustrated edition of the Spiritual Exercises (1649), it is all the more surprising that the engravings of both the particular and the general exam (the well-known “mnemotechnical hand”) have little to do with this noticeable anagogical image.

El Via vitae aeternae del flamenco Antonius Sucquet SJ, publicado hace cuatrocientos años en Amberes, fue un célebre manual de oración ignaciana para religiosos y laicos y un auténtico superventas en el siglo XVII. Llamativas son sus imágenes anagógicas, que ya no acompañan la composición de lugar en las meditaciones de los misterios de la vida de Cristo como en el póstumo Evangelicae historiae imagines de Nadal, sino que ahora “llevan a escena” al ejercitante mismo en su propia peregrinación espiritual, desde la meditación con las tres potencias hasta la contemplación y la acción. “Narran” su vida interior con Cristo. Prueba de su celebridad y practicidad es que estas imágenes influyeron en la primera edición ilustrada de los Ejercicios espirituales publicada en Roma en 1649. Contiene la primera imagen conocida que representa el examen de conciencia, no como ayuda mnemotécnica, sino como un proceso anagógico y práctico del ejercitante mismo ante el juez Cristo y con la ayuda del ángel de guardia. Además, su lugar en el itinerario merece nuestra atención.
