Adélia Prado’s poetics is touched by simplicity, pervades trivial things of everyday life and makes us perceive the beauty of life that pulsates in every human act. The poetic word is the symbol that the authoress produces to transpose, through language, her encounter with the world; through which she makes us apprehend the truth that is hidden in the simplicity of life. Although the authoress, in her writing, reveals herself imbued with a Catholic faith, recurring, in her poetry and prose, to this particular religious repertoire; what we intend to demonstrate in this research work is that the religious quality of her poetry is not given strictly by the use of these specific elements, but because of the way she "poeticizes" deep human concerns. In this perspective, the philosopher and theologian Paul Tillich provides us with a definition of religion as an ultimate concern, present in all spheres of the human spirit. This concept derives from the notion of unconditional as a fundamental and paradoxical quality of the conscience and of the actualization of meaning in cultural dynamics. Faith, so understood, is ultimate concern while an attitude of the human spirit oriented to the unconditionality of meaning, whose expression is only possible through symbolic language. While a participant of the reality in which it is immersed, it extends this immediacy, unveiling dimensions and structures of reality that, otherwise, would remain hidden, and thus it favors the integration of the human being with themselves and with the world around them. The present work aims to make a theological and existential analysis of a selection of poems from the book Miserere (2013) by Adélia Prado, a work in which the authoress returns and deepens human issues that had been addressed in her first publication, Bagagem (1976). A poetics that touches realities of the body and soul, accompanied by the image of a God who is watching the unrolling life , devoid of institutional power and transforming human life in an extension of his lively presence. Paul Tillich, with his existential concept of religion and with his theology of art, will provide us with tools to carry out this analytical and hermeneutics approach between religion and literature.
