The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus, of the Order of Our Lady of Carmel

Resumen del Libro

St. Teresa Avila, St. Teresa of Jesus, overcame great physical ailments to become one of the great Christian mystics. Through her experience with great pain brought on by malaria she became fully absorbed in her devotedness to God. It was during her periods of intense physical pain that she began to increasingly experience divine visions and an inner sense of peace. These experiences of joy and peace transcended the pain of the body. "I threw myself down in despair before an image of the Mother of God. With many tears, I implored the Holy Virgin to become my mother now. Uttered with the simplicity of a child, this prayer was heard. From that hour on, I never prayed to the Virgin in vain." At 43 St. Teresa Avila decided she wanted to found a new order recommitting to the values of poverty and simplicity. She devoted much of her life to travelling Spain organizing new convents based on ancient monastic traditions. Her work was not always greeted with enthusiasm as many resented her reforms and the implied criticism of existing religious orders. In The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus, St. Teresa expresses her deep relationship with God. Her wisdom and ever-hopeful outlook inspire Christians everywhere.

Interior Castle

Here is the definitive edition of St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle: translated by E. Allison Peers. This mystic book is as inspirational and enlightening today as it was when it was first written. St. Teresa lays out the foundation for an ideal journey of faith. St. Teresa was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be, along with Saint John of the Cross, a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. She became the first female to be named a Doctor of the Church, in 1970, and is one of only three females to be awarded that honor.

Estudio sobre el Evangelio de Juan

No he escatimado esfuerzos a la hora de preparar este estudio sobre el evangelio de Juan, y así ofrecer al lector interesado una obra exacta y actualizada, despoblada de dobles discursos o de doctrinas ajenas a lo que el mismo evangelio menciona, trate de que toda la información aquí presentada tenga el menor margen de error posible. Se corresponde a un estudio no solo de las palabras del evangelio (exégesis), sino además es un estudio, social, económico, político, religioso e histórico, del tiempo en que Jesús desarrollo su vida publica entre nosotros.
