Synopsis

The Way of Perfection is a spiritual guidebook written by F. Benedict Zimmerman. The book is a commentary on the teachings of Saint Teresa of Avila, a Spanish mystic and Carmelite nun. The Way of Perfection provides practical advice on how to live a holy and virtuous life, and how to deepen one's relationship with God. Zimmerman's commentary covers topics such as prayer, humility, detachment, and self-discipline. The book is intended for anyone seeking to grow in their spiritual life, and is particularly suited to those interested in the Carmelite tradition. The Way of Perfection is a classic work of Catholic spirituality, and has been widely read and studied since its publication in 1935.This work was translated from the autograph of Saint Teresa of Jesus by a Benedictine of Stanbrook with annotation of the variants from the Escorial and Valladolid versions. In this book, St. Teresa first recommends the practice of prayer and meditation which give a taste of that sweetness reserved by God for those who fear Him, rendering them prompt and ready for all the works of virtue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

THE convent of St. Joseph at Avila having been inaugurated on August 24, 1562, and the storms occasioned by its foundation having somewhat subsided, St. Teresa received permission from the Provincial, Fray Angel de Salazar, to leave the monastery of the Incarnation and join her new community; she crossed the threshold of that ‘Paradise’, as our Lord vouchsafed to call it, about Mid-Lent, 1563, never to leave the enclosure again—as she fervently hoped. She did not know then that God had destined her to more arduous work which would compel her to sally forth and establish convent after convent in distant parts of Spain. Her sojourn at St. Joseph’s only lasted four and a half years, but, as she says, it was the happiest time of her life. The convent was small and poor, the observance as strict as human nature, strengthened by grace, can bear, but she enjoyed to the full the peace which, after the many struggles graphically described in the Life, had at length been granted her.
