Saint Teresa (of Avila) Libros

Shortly after writing The Book of Her Life for her confessor, St. Teresa wrote The Way of Perfection at the request of her nuns who were eager to learn about prayer and contemplation. Throughout this work she teaches her nuns about prayer and also teaches us. The Interior Castle is considered St. Teresa of Avila?s masterpiece. She wrote this last work in just a few months in 1577, five years before her death. At this point in her life she had been granted the highest mystical graces; this book is the fruit of her lived experience and a deep-felt praise of God for it. Using the image of a castle, Teresa describes the soul?s progressive inner journey through seven dwelling places, until finally reaching the center where, now transformed, it is united with God.--Publisher's website.

La obra clásica de Santa Teresa de Ávila sobre la conciencia espiritual y la guía. Aclamada durante casi cinco siglos como una maestra de la literatura espiritual, la santa del siglo XVI es una de las figuras religiosas más queridas de la historia. Un día, abrumada por una visión mística de un castillo de cristal con siete habitaciones, cada una representando una etapa diferente en el desarrollo espiritual, Teresa escribió inmediatamente El Castillo Interior. Probablemente su obra más importante y estudiada, guía al buscador espiritual a través de cada etapa de desarrollo hasta la unión final del alma con lo divino. Libre de dogmas religiosos, esta obra se presenta como un conjunto hermoso y práctico de enseñanzas para buscadores de todas las creencias que necesitan orientación espiritual. Además, coloca este libro clásico sobre la espiritualidad en un contexto contemporáneo, reafirmando su importancia literaria incluso después de más de 400 años.
