Of Interior Castle. Has anyone read this masterpiece by Theresa Avila?
Interior Castle is free to read online but long. It is so helpful in advancing in prayer and the state of spirituality. A masterpiece. I love it and have read this many times.
Purgative Illuminative Or Unitive.

Yes, I've read it a few times also. Someone gave me a copy about 20 years ago before I knew anything about Teresa of Avila and I was amazed by it. The word that I think most describes the work is luminous.
I think the first time I read it I tried too hard to make my progress happen which can be disappointing. But the next time I read it, I just enjoyed the read vicariously through Teresa's journey. I must pull it out for another read.

There is a blog Contemplative homeschool. It explains everything. It's not for kids. It's for those who want to grow in contemplative prayer. The author of this blog is also an author and contributes to spiritual direction .com.
I find that it's compelling that we can go BACK in our journey through the Mansions, and she said most think they are more advanced then they are.
