Comfort and consolation in the dark moments of life.Teresa
of Avila (1515-1582) was a Spanish nun and contemplative mystic, and one of three women
(besides Catherine of Siena and Therese of Lisieux) who have been named "Doctors of
the Church." However, her thoughts on prayer and spiritual living are as fresh and
relevant to us to day as they were four hundred years ago. The Interior Castle and The
Way of Perfection are counted as classics in the great storehouse of Christian wisdom.
This book is a collection of sixty daily meditations, including both morning and
evening reflections drawn from the writings of St. Teresa as well as Scripture and sacred
poetry. A brief section at the beginning introduces you to this remarkable woman and her
work.
