Five hundred years ago, Teresa of Avila was born in Spain to the family of Cepeda y Ahumada. At the age of 20, she became a Carmelite nun.

Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle is one of the most celebrated books ever written by a mystic on abiding in union with Christ. Writing in obedience to the requests of two of her superiors, the humble 16th century Spanish sister protests "...for the love of God, let me get on with my spinning and go to choir...like the other sisters...I am not meant for writing; I have neither the health nor the wits for it."

Part poetic masterpiece, part mystic treatise, The Dark Night of the Soul by 16th century Carmelite monk St. John of the Cross, addresses the feeling of being forgotten by the Presence of the Almighty that every Christian desirous of walking more closely with God must pass through in order to learn to walk by faith and not by sight.

  • Spiritual Direction From St. Francis De Sales

  • By Teresa on 05-02-17

Publisher's Summary

These presentations approach the text of the Book of Teresa’s Life like that of a spiritual director asking Teresa about her prayer life. We also ask Teresa about the resistances which for years keep her heart unresponsive to offers of divine friendship. Her gift for making friends is a natural gift, which through her attachment to it drains energy for God. Only after much struggle does Teresa recognize Jesus as her “most dear friend”. As we meet the confessors who become her advisers, we gain insight into inept guidance and good spiritual guidance. Teresa’s journey offers insight for our lives today, especially for persons who offer or who seek spiritual guidance.
