    Annotation:

    Contemplating is a cognitive capacity of human being that is found particularly in the religious sphere. Starting from the teachings of two 16th century masters, Ignacio de Loyola and Juan de Ávila, this article tries, first of all, to delimit the different types of contemplation, depending on whether it is considered as a mystical union, or contemplation acquired, through effort or spiritual activity. In Ignacio de Loyola and Juan de Ávila both types of contemplation are evident. Both authors agree on many aspects: they live very similar moments, in the first decades of the 16th century, in a context in which a reform of the life in prayer is necessary. This article describes how each of the authors studied concretizes the mystical experience in their own way, although both converge in a teaching of contemplative prayer that can be put into practice even today.
