Resumo: This work has developed trem the questions about the religiosity of lhe aged usersof the clinic-school ot the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, in Minas Gerais, where I develop extension projects in the area of psychogerontology. Theaim of the research was to understand the meanings of their religiosity to favor the clinic work with this population. Inside a phenomenological perspective, I traced a line of investigation that allowed me to pass through fields such as aging, culture, religiosity and subjectivity. Eight people trem seventyto eighty years old were studied by interviews semi-structured in which they related their viewpoint about the world, their relation to the holy, their beliefs, and religiosity practice and experience. The phenomenological analysis afthe reports revealed the religious senses built by the aged, which permit them ta live the polarities of life in a conciliatory and integrated way. To them the meaningof life is in the sacred; therefore they approach and open themselves to receivehim. In front of the holy they feel strong, loved, protected and sons of God and in the relations with the community they are serene, peaceful and commemorative. Such meanings provide them the internal organization necessary to situate them in the world. Their religiosity is lived paradoxically, becauseis in the relation with the sacred that they feel strong in the weakness, marryeven in the pain, wise in the ignorance and rich in the poverty. They seek to settle basis and organize their lives in the feelings and affections formed, in the conviviality with the holy. In the religiosity of this aged, there is an attitucle, of openness to the mystery, the invisible and the transcendent important to be consideredin the psychotherapist's view in his labor with this population. The existence of openness to the religious speech ot the people is especially important, because it reveals the various cultural models of the psyche, supply clues to decode the human enigmas and lead to the comprehension of its deepest dimension, or, its most intimate and existential nucleus
