The purpose of this article is to present the development of Thomas Aquinas’sconcept of joy in the subsequent parts of Summa theologiae. Beginning with thedescription of joy as simple movements of the soul, Thomas comes to present theconcept of spiritual joy, which is fundamental to the human visio beatifica. Therefore,the article is divided into three parts, which discuss Aquinas’s accounts ofjoy: Prima secundae, Secunda secundae and Tertia pars. The first part focuses onthe inclusion of joy as experience and feeling. Joy here is understood as one of thefeelings of the sensitive power is considered in the perspective of human emotionality(vis concupiscibilis). Joy that comes from satisfying the lack of sensory goodsis called pleasure (delectatio). It differs from the joy of affection (gaudium) – theintellectual and spiritual affrct, to which the second part of the article is dedicated.Spiritual joy does not include the sensory-corporal component, and it superimposesitself over purely intelligible beings. Thomas clearly emphasizes that only Godcan be the cause of spiritual joy. This perspective allows Aquinas to develop hisconcept of theology of joy in the next part of Summa (III pars), which is devotedin the last part of this text. The emotionality of Christ is the central problem forThomas here. These considerations throw a lot of light not only on the supernaturalapproach to joy, but also on the ways in which joy – the fruit of the Holy Spirit canbe experienced by a human being in hac via.

This article presents the concept of interpretation for an unusual symbolic language of Saint Hildegard von Bingen, who in her writing tried to express the unity of the entire creation and its dependence on the Creator. According to Hildegard, the whole world was planned and ordered by the Creator, and each thing is a kind of message, the word of the Creator, which is related to Him. The disaster, which was the original sin, disrupted the original harmony of the creation and introduced evil and falsehood to this creation. Relationships between earthly things, as well as between God and man were falsified. Thanks to her visions and their interpretations, Hildegard wants to show the real place of man in space. She wants to restore his ability to understand the world and read it as a message and the path to the Creator. Moreover, she intends to clean up the human language from the false. However, Saint Hildegard von Bingen knows quite well that the language without falsehood and lies, which reflects the harmony of man with cosmos and God, will be revealed to man at the end of time. For people, who have contact with Hildegard and for Hildegard, this language is the metaphysical truth, but not a historical reality (yet).
