Abstract (English): The article titled "Penitence and Grace in Blaise Pascal" discusses Pascal's understanding of charity and its relationship with the Eucharist. Pascal desired to receive communion in his last days, but the doctors did not consider him to be in danger of death. As compensation, Pascal asked that a needy person be taken care of in his home or be moved to a hospital. Pascal saw charity as a way to supplement communion. The article also mentions Pascal's involvement in the penitential controversy of the 17th century and the indulgent attitude of Jesuit confessors. Pascal also engaged in a controversy against the Jesuits and defended the Augustinian theory of grace, which emphasizes the disproportion between man and God. Pascal approaches devotion and spiritual consolation, housing God's grace in the heart instead of the intellect. Pascal believes that God's love is revealed in dazzling flashes in a night of fire and that the heart has its own reasons that reason does not understand. The text speaks about the relationship between faith and reason in religion, and how Blaise Pascal was never convinced by the God of philosophers. Pascal believed that God cannot be derived from nature or the creature, and that faith is necessary to understand the mysteries of the Trinity and the incarnation of God. It is also mentioned that God hides to be found only in love, and that Jesus Christ is the transformative value of lowliness. The text concludes by discussing Pascal's last days and his love for poverty. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish): El artículo titulado "Penitencia y gracia en Blaise Pascal" discute la comprensión de la caridad por parte de Pascal y su relación con la Eucaristía. Pascal deseaba recibir la comunión en sus últimos días, pero los médicos no lo consideraban en peligro de muerte. Como compensación, Pascal pidió que se atendiera a un indigente en su casa o se trasladara a un hospital. Pascal veía la caridad como una forma de suplir la comunión. El artículo también menciona la participación de Pascal en la controversia penitencial del siglo XVII y la actitud indulgente de los confesores jesuitas. Pascal también se enfrascó en una polémica contra los jesuitas y defendió la teoría agustiniana de la gracia, que enfatiza la desproporción entre el hombre y Dios. Pascal se acerca a la devoción y la consolación espiritual, alojando la gracia de Dios en el corazón en lugar de la inteligencia. Pascal cree que el amor de Dios se revela en destellos fulgurantes en una noche de fuego y que el corazón tiene sus propias razones que la razón no comprende. El texto habla sobre la relación entre fe y razón en la religión, y cómo Blaise Pascal nunca se dejó convencer por el Dios de los filósofos. Pascal creía que Dios no se puede derivar de la naturaleza ni de la criatura, y que la fe es necesaria para comprender los misterios de la trinidad y la encarnación de Dios. También se menciona que Dios se oculta para ser encontrado solo en el amor, y que Jesucristo es el trasvasije valorativo de la bajeza. El texto concluye hablando sobre los últimos días de Pascal y su amor por la pobreza. [Extracted from the article]
