Facing Physical Illness, Worldly Attachments, and Difficulties in Prayer with St. Teresa of Ávila

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

Due to the incredibly positive response to our discussion last season on difficulties in prayer with St. Thérèse, Fr. Marc Foley, OCD joins us again in this episode to explore a similar theme in the life of St. Teresa of Ávila. For a period of nearly twenty years, St. Teresa struggled on what she called a “tempestuous sea” of being torn between her desire for God and her worldly attachments. There is so much we can learn from her spiritual wisdom.
