The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila presents a remarkable
description of the entire spiritual life from the first release
from mortal sin into Sanctifying Grace through the Mystical
Marriage of the soul with Christ as a journey through what she
called The Interior Castle.
She sees the soul as a magnificent castle full of spacious and
well-lit rooms or mansions each of which leads deeper into the
heart of the castle to the seat of the King. However, St. Teresa
laments that most people give all their attention to the outer wall
of the castle the body ignoring the beauty of the soul within.
St. Teresa gives practical advice regarding the early struggles
and the temptations to turn back which beset the beginner. She
describes each of the seven mansions and urges us forward to love
and serve the Divine Majesty, imparting her absolute conviction
that progress toward God through prayer is worth vastly more than
all the treasures of this earth.
