What Teresa of Avila can teach us today
After years of lukewarm religious life, St Teresa of Avila finally encountered the Lord who suffered out of love for her. Her spirituality is not about what one experiences, but about what one becomes. She does not promise any achievement of inner peace, but a relationship that this life is too small to contain. Today’s her feast day and we’ll talk with Dr Anthony Lilles.
