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

St. Teresa of Avila experienced profound mystical graces—ecstasy, levitation, and rapture—in her prayer, yet she often struggled to understand how to respond to them. How can we find the guidance we need in our own spiritual journeys? In this episode of CarmelCast, we are joined by Fr. Mark O'Keefe, OSB to discuss mystical experiences and spiritual direction in the life of St. Teresa.
