This serves as an introduction to the life of Saint Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, baptized as Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada (28 March 1515 - 4 October 1582). In our opening conversation, we discuss 16th century Spain, events taking place in the world and the people who associated with Teresa. Dr. Lilles also gives introductions to her various spiritual works and the importance of “The Interior Castle”.

Anthony Lilles, S.T.D. is an associate professor and the academic dean of Saint John’s Seminary in Camarillo as well as the academic advisor for Juan Diego House of Priestly Formation for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. For over twenty years he served the Church in Northern Colorado where he joined and eventually served as dean of the founding faculty of Saint John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver. Through the years, clergy, seminarians, religious and lay faithful have benefited from his lectures and retreat conferences on the Carmelite Doctors of the Church and the writings of St. Elisabeth of the Trinity.
Thank you so much for this. It has been so transforming. God is using your clarity and instruction to purify and draw me. Praised be Jesus Christ!
Thank you Discerning Hearts for bringing this to us in this time. Thank you Kris and Dr. Lilles for taking the time to explain the wisdom of the writings of St. Theresa of Avila, we are all indebted to you for the gift of this channel.
Thanks for your clarification and explanation of my favorite saint. St. Teresa is the saint for our time.
Discerning Hearts has taken me deeper into my own spiritual life. I cannot say enough about these great speakers , teachers , true disciples of Christ. Gracias

Thank you this is one Saint that I have been following for awhile.❤
This is perfect for Catholics who are stressed out about the political turmoil we're in.
What a blessing, very easy to understand, what is being discussed. I truly love it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your giod works. Please continue. Praying for you and the team.
So helpful to know how St. Theresa had to deal with the people and powers who fought against God. Gives insight into our God and how muchHe loves us and who can relate to us if we let go of fear and learn how wonderfully we are made!

Thank you for explaining mental prayer.
Thank you so much I have been reading here writing for the past three days and this is a blessing for me🙏
I love Dr. Lilles. Praise the Lord.
Thank you for this wonderful gift and may God continue to bless your wonderful work 🙏😔💖🕊....
I've been praying like this for years and felt an overwhelming guilt as if I had to actually speak out verbally with our Lord.
Then it dawned on me that people who were deaf mute would be praying like this.
I realised i felt more into praying like this, but still had scruples about it a sort of guilt.because I felt my prayers were meaningless, because I would pray this way during my work, going walks, in the car,on the bus,out shopping etc..
I felt i was drawn through guilt to visit Jesus more and more in adoration of the blessed sacrament.
Sometimes I felt that I had to pray my daily devotions out loud in order to get rid of the guilt, goodness gracious it was very draining to have to repeat my St Bridgette prayer, rosary novena's litanies and chaplets etc .
I use to love reading, but due to mental illness and chronic anxiety I lost that desire,of being engrossed in a book and being part of the story, strangely enough I imagined that I was right there whatever I read.
I hate the fact that I cannot retain or remember anything that I read, which I find so upsetting, because I would love to teach my younger relatives and friends kids, like a kind of baby sitting storytime
I'm going through spiritual dryness and feel I need to be at the blessed sacrament daily for at least three hours a day.
I think I'm drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus to calm my mind and hopefully be able to be blessed with enough knowledge to understanding and remember what God wants to use me for.
Please pray for my journey with Jesus through Mary to be fulfilled to do the will of God and that I desire what he desires from my life heart etc..
I really am nothing, uneducated.clumsy and don't really know how to explain situations without getting myself in a muddle.
I feel lost alone empty and void of love, although I know I must endure this journey as penance to save souls in some way,or maybe just to save my own wretched soul.
Lord in your mercy grant me the desire of surrendering my will completely over to you 🙏
Wonderful talk. Very well organised. Blessings
Thank you for confirming messages of interior castle. I pray for your mission. LOVED YOUR PRESENTATION.
Godbless for the team! Keep saving soul! Keep always atuned to the prompting of the Holy Spirit..
Love this. Very inspired
Totally wonderful. Truly the direction that I need to go. God bless
Thank you❤❤❤❤
Despite years of mental prayer, I am still trying to grasp its depth, meaning and impact. Perhaps I have been missing the whole point - thanks for the gentle discussion to let me see the bigger picture.
Totally wonderful lecture -- many, many thanks and blessings -- very apt as well for the times we are living in! Stay well and God Bless :)
This expresses my deepest desires...
Thank you. My earnest desires as well.
Trust. You all are doing and sharing Gods will in this world to which we do not belong.
Santa Teresa Sanchez Blázquez de Cepeda de la Cuevas Dávila y Ahumada , doctora de la Iglesia , una monja que se adelantó a sus tiempos !!!
Hebrews 6 : 1 - Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity
"The Lord" VS "Our Lord" there is a difference and I cringe and my heart aches when I hear people say the wrong one. Do some research into what I am talking about and it will catapult your contemplative life if you choose the correct one. There is so much more that is being hidden from us and proper contemplation will lead us to those hidden gems... Peace.
