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.

Lectio divina para la vida diaria: los salmos y los cánticos de laudes y vísperas. semana 4

Jesús fue educado, en la tradición del pueblo de Israel, para orar con los salmos y convirtió el salterio en «su libro de oración» (D. Bonhoeffer). La Iglesia, siguiendo el ejemplo de su Maestro y Señor, hizo suyas aquellas estupendas oraciones líricas inspiradas y exhortó a los creyentes a aplicar los salmos no sólo a las grandes festividades, sino también a las circunstancias de la vida de cada día. Así fue como nació la liturgia de las horas. Este libro introduce al lector a rezar cristianamente los salmos de laudes y vísperas. Basado en el antiguo método de la lectio...
