Exploring the Castle
The next set of posts will consist of a brief introduction to the seven mansions as described by Saint Teresa of Avila. My hope is that those who have not yet read Interior Castle may be encouraged from this to do so.
Some wonderful resources for a more thorough aid in understanding Teresian prayer and the soul’s progress in union with the Lord are Father Thomas Dubay’s, Fire Within, as well as two of his audio series on EWTN: Teresa of Avila: Personality & Prayer as well as Prayer Quest .
So, now, let’s go exploring. Put on your rubber boots, because we have to wade through all those “snakes and vipers and poisonous creatures” to get where we’re going.
