Produktbeschreibung

The Interior Castle is the mysterious masterpiece of Teresa de Jesúsalso known to the world as St. Teresa of Ávilaa 16th-century mystic whose profound personal experiences continue to guide seekers of every generation. Teresa addresses her fellow Sisters in her writing, leading them on an extraordinary journey through the "mansions" of the soul, culminating in union with God. Centuries later, we continue to learn from her mystical experiences-described with humility and often in the third person-gaining an intimate glimpse into the heights of divine love and the depths of human longing.

Renowned for her visionary ecstasies and frequent bouts of levitation during an age when the West began to secularize, St. Teresa nonetheless endured great physical and spiritual pains, embracing them as gifts from God. Accepting these trials with unwavering faith, she famously prayed, "Lord, either let me suffer or let me die," revealing a soul fully surrendered to divine will.

This new translation of The Interior Castle, taken from the original 16th-century Spanish, brings St. Teresa's timeless reflections into our modern era. It preserves the elegance and authenticity of her voice while offering readers an accessible entry into one of the greatest treasures of Christian spirituality.

Autorenporträt

St. Teresa of Avila was born in 1515 at Avila, Spain, and her mother Beatriz was determined to bring her up as a good Christian. She attempted to find martyrdom by running away from home when she was seven, but was promptly stopped by her uncle. She later became a Carmelite nun and began to experience, while suffering from sickness, spiritual ecstasy as a result of reading Francisco de Osuna's Third Spiritual Alphabet. In 1599 she was convinced that she was actually seeing visions of Christ, which continued often for two years. Teresa of Avila founded a good many convents, including at Andalusia, Palencia and Soria. She is also the author of The Interior Castle, The Way of Perfection, and an Autobiography. She died in 1582 at the age of 67, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. Her feast is celebrated on October 15.
