About this deal

Expect and persevere through all spiritual dryness and desolations in prayer. This can include the “ night of the senses“. Here, God purifies the soul of both worldly and spiritual attachments to consolation. James Finley expounds on the practice prayer in the first three Mansions and then delves into the qualitative deepening of prayer in the 4th Mansion, which opens into the 5th. Thirdly, she derived such humility and self-knowledge from this vision, that from that moment she never thought of herself in all the good she was doing; for she learnt that all the beauty of the soul emanates from that resplendent light, and that the powers of the soul and of the body are enlivened and strengthened by the Power established in the centre, whence comes all our good, so that we have but a small share in our good works. All the good she did, she from this moment referred to God as its principal author. St. Teresa’s most important advice for the beginner is to try to rid themselves of sin and attachments. Jesus said that the riches and pleasures of the world can still choke those who hear the word of God.

Granted, I can see how some - or perhaps many - people would say this book is difficult. I, too, found myself having to take a breath after reading one or two chapters, and to The fruits of this prayer are more intense and transformative. They include a desire to praise God, to do penance and suffer for Him, to have solitude, and for all souls to know God. With such regard for obedience, she asked me one day at Toledo--probably at the time when she saw the vision of the Castle--whether it was true that God was in all things by His power, presence, Animae in hac tertia mansione operam dant ut peccata etiam venialia evitent. Bene utuntur suo tempore, in memoria ducunt horas, et desiderant poenitentiam. Caritatem etiam erga proximos exercere pergunt.Repentance and prayer. Our only hope for salvation is to go to God. First, we must ask for forgiveness. Then we must move toward Him through our prayer, our interior life. St. Teresa of Ávila by Peter Paul Rubens (1615) 2. The First Mansions February 4, 2019: What we will be studying this year... This study edition was not even in GRs. ... Reaching this stage is a major transition. This marks a move from the “ Purgative Way” to the “ Illuminative Way.” St. Teresa dives into many spiritual terms. Quamvis Deus animae dimiserit, tamen peccandi cupiditates tardat. Super peccata etiam anima multa habet ad aestimanda et mundana studia. Haec est anima in prima mansione. Gravissimum S. Teresiae consilium incipientis est se a peccato et attachiamento depellere conari. Iesus dixit quod divitiae et voluptates mundi adhuc possunt suffocare eos qui verbum Dei audiunt;

Quaedam secundae meditationes de S. Teresia; Humilitas est essentialis omnium incrementorum vitae spiritualis. Agnosce quis sis, et cognosce quis sit Deus. Quomodo bonus mundus creatus est cognosce. Videntes Creatorem et Eius pulchritudinem in mundo attachiamenta reponere debent. one is of better quality than that of the former, though the precious stones are not so well set. It has been done, as might be expected, according to the designs of the Jeweller Himself.' 9 Later on she wrote to Father Jerome Gracian: The book I have written since seems to me superior [to the Life]; at least I had more experience when I wrote it.' 10

After the publication of the Interior Castle by Luis de Leon, the manuscript came into the possession of Father Jerome Gracian, who, after having made a copy of it which is still extant, presented the original, on the occasion of a visit to the convent of Seville, to Don Pedro Cereso Pardo, a great friend of the Saint, and a benefactor to the convent. When his only daughter took the habit there, the precious manuscript was part of her dowry. Doña Juana de Mendoza, Duchess of Beguiar, a novice in the same convent, had it bound in silver and precious stones. It is still there, 27 and the present writer had the privilege of seeing it. It comprises a hundred and thirteen leaves in folio, but originally there must have been some more leaves which at a later period were torn out. These, it is presumed, contained the headings of the chapters. Unlike the Life and the Foundations, the text of the Castle is divided only by figures, without indication of the contents of each chapter, but the arguments which have come down to us are so entirely similar to those of the two works Likewise Don Alvaro de Villegas, canon of Toledo, expressed his opinion that the Way of Perfection and the Interior Castle contain 'heavenly doctrine.' The weight of the subject-matter, the propriety of the comparisons, the force of the expressions, the consistency of the teaching, the sweetness of her well-chosen, vivid words, the clearness of the arguments, all this proves that she was guided by her heavenly Spouse, in Whom are hidden the treasures of the wisdom of God; and that the Holy Ghost, Who more than once was seen resting on her head like a dove, was dilating these works. Villegas does not believe that any one could read them, as such books ought to be read, without becoming himself a master of the spiritual life. For they are like heavenly dew, rendering the soul fruitful in the matter of prayer. 24 Comprehensive indexes of key themes and figures, castle imagery, and biblical references make this volume an indispensable reference resource. Third mansions – Here, love for God is growing so great that the soul develops an aversion to sin and a deepening desire to love and serve others.

Recommended ReadingThe book was eagerly read by those who were able to obtain copies. At the archiepiscopal Seminary at Salamanca it was read publicly after dinner; the students, contrary to custom, sacrificing the recreation rather than miss so edifying an instruction. The result was that several entered the religious life, one becoming a Franciscan, two others, who had already taken their degrees, joining the Discalced Carmelites. 12 We also know of a lady who became a Poor Clare through reading the Interior Castle. 13 The process of Beatification contains the following evidence of Don Francisco de Mora, architect to Philip III: 'The same prioress (of a On the occasion of the ter-centenary of Saint Teresa's death, a photo-lithographic edition of the original was published under the direction of Cardinal Lluch, Carmelite of the old observance, Archbishop of Seville: Secondly, she was greatly surprised at the malice of sin, since, notwithstanding the presence of God in these various ways, it prevents the soul from partaking of that powerful light. The French Carmelite nuns in their new translation, Œuvres complètes de Sainte Thérèse, t. vi, Introduction, p. 5, quoting the Año Teresiano, t. vii ad 7 July, and Father Gracian's Dilucidario, as well as his additions to Ribera, show the exact share of Fr. Gracian and Dr. Velasquez in the preliminaries of this work. let us desire that not our wills, but His will, be done.74 If we have not progressed as far as this, then, as I have said, let us practise humility, which is the ointment for our wounds; if we are truly humble, God, the Physician,75 will come in due course, even though He tarry, to heal us.”
