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.
Famous Carmelite classic in a wonderful traditional translation.
Her spiritual struggles, vision of her potential place in Hell,
mystical graces--yet she remained very down to earth. One of the
most admirable women of all time Nice large print. Impr. PB 516
pgs.
While spiritual guidance may be simply a comfort to some, it is an
absolute necessity to those who would undertake the monumental task
of fulfilling the soul's destiny of unity with God. In coming into
the presence of the divine Creator, man would find himself
infinitely smaller and wholly finite, a crushing blow to the ego,
but the necessary process by which one truly becomes communed with
God. Proceeding through the forest of human imperfections, St. John
of the Cross offers a light in the darkness. A sympathetic guide,
this poem and its explication are offered to ease the task of
shedding the mental trappings of human existence, and to encourage
fortitude in the face of suffering and the detachment of the spirit
from the merely imagined self in order to fully become a blessed
child of God, ready and able to embrace the glory that entails.
Spanish mystic and poet ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS (1542-1591) played a
major role in the Catholic Reformation of the 16th century, and
produced several renowned writings, including his Spiritual
Canticle and Sayings of Love and Peace.
Within is the first full length biography of St. John of the Cross,
based on methods of right historical criticism. Friar Bruno's study
is a model of impartiality, and shows the author's filial piety
combined, in the easiest and most natural fashion, with a perfect
scientific serenity. The author has been able to throw light on
some of the disputed points previously presented badly due to
insufficient study. Much of the material used was found in the
archives of the Carmelite Order.
