  Abstract:  “Life in Abundance” is a mental health pilot project for catholic nuns in Romania. We believe that man is body (soma), mind (psyche) and spirit (nous) and that suffering affects the person as a whole. Healing must therefore involve the whole person, the person who is a bio-psycho-spiritual unity. Religious vocation is based on two elements: the divine call and human freedom. Precisely because of this interlacing between grace and nature it is very important that the consecrated persons be assisted in all these aspects, in order to be able to live their vocation as fully as possible. Healing involves the whole person. Therefore teamwork is needed: the psychotherapist, the spiritual director, the group therapist and the physical therapist must work together. This article aims to present, based on case studies, the importance of what Viktor E. Frankl observed: genuine religiosity can lead to the healing of the soul and the healing of the soul leads to genuine religiosity.

Keywords: existential analysis, spiritual companionship, encounter, person, dignity, authenticity, freedom, responsibility
