“The Beloved looks less at the grandeur of our deeds than at the love with which we preform them.”

“The Interior Castle” by St. Teresa of Avila is a good book to journey with. If you are someone who insists on perfect agreement with any writer you read or person you can learn from, this book is not for you. But if you are willing to learn from someone with whom partial agreement is the most you can hope for, then I strongly encourage you to make space to wander through the words of a Spanish woman who centered her life on God in the 1570s.
