CarmelCast - Episode 3: The Prayer of Recollection

Carmelite SpiritualitySt. Therese
Written By Br. John-Mary of Jesus Crucified, O.C.D.

Saint Teresa of Avila proposes one particular method of prayer that she found to be most helpful in her own life: the prayer of recollection. In this episode, we discuss this practice of prayer as it is understood in the Carmelite Tradition. We also look briefly at Saint Teresa's famous analogy of the degrees of prayer: The Four Waters.
