Synopsis

This book examines the basic teaching of St Teresa of Jesus (Avila) on prayer and gives a brief summary of her main writings on this topic. For the most part it concentrates on one of her major works, The Way of Perfection. The purpose she had in writing this volume was to teach her colleagues how to make mental prayer. By means of summary, quotation and comment, it puts The Way of Perfection within the reach of the reader interested in the life of prayer. A special effort has been made to remain close to her thought and style so that the expression of her own words will not be lost. Words she kept herself for a bookmark similarly help effort and concentration today:Let nothing disturb you; let nothing dismay you; all things pass;God never changes.Patience attains all that it strives for.The one who has God finds they lack nothing:God alone suffices.
