Comments on the drama of on the drama of bodily existence (1.)

Summary/Abstract: This philosophical meditation on the drama of bodily existence and sexual identity intends to explain and complement the reflection of Ricardo Aldana, who considered these issues from the Communio-theology point of view represented by Hans Urs von Balthasar and Adrienne von Speyr. The main claim to be exposed and phenomenologically corroborated is that the horizon of correctly interpreting the phenomenon of bodily existence is an existential and dramatic encounter with the Trinitarian reality. The context of an adequate response to one’s unique and sexual bodily existence is predetermined by Mary’s “Fiat!” and Christ’s redemptive sacrifice; these two yeses to divine love created the possibility for a radical freedom to embrace creation when it comes to the gift of bodily existence. The dramatic nature of our fundamental relationship with the body is characterized in two steps: first, by analyzing the paradoxes of how the body is given to us; and second, by argu- ing that the drama of being exposed to bodily existence can lead us through bodily self-gift (sacrification) and care for the (bodily existing) other to the discovery and contemplative appreciation of the body.
