Unitive way

The third stage of the mystical path: the soul’s union with God in love.

Also: unitive life

Christian mysticism

The unitive way is the summit of the Christian spiritual life, in which the will is united with God’s and the soul rests in loving contemplation. Its height is described by Teresa and John of the Cross as the spiritual marriage. The site takes its name, unitive knowledge, from the knowledge proper to this way.
