Way of Perfection | Saint Teresa of Ávila

This podcast talks about the book, 'Way of Perfection' written by Saint Teresa of Ávila. It is a spiritual guide for Carmelite nuns, particularly those living at the Convent of Saint Joseph in Ávila, which Teresa founded. The text examines the importance of humility and self-detachment for spiritual growth, and it explores various aspects of prayer, such as contemplation and mental prayer. Teresa stresses the need for strict obedience and cautions against individual friendships, arguing that they can hinder spiritual advancement. Throughout the text, she encourages the nuns to actively seek God's guidance and to rely on His grace as they strive for spiritual perfection. #prayer #christian

ST. TERESA OF AVILA: “The most certain sign that we are keeping these two precepts [of loving God and our neighbor] is our love of our neighbor, for whether we love God can not be known, but neighborly love is unmistakable. If we fulfill this precept very perfectly, we have done everything.”

@@thecornycorner thanks for the input. Quite a book to read with a lot of insights though for some the language may be a challenge to grasp the wording. It's our hope that this encourages a good read for such. Be blessed 🙏
