Inspiring the Mansion of the Heart: St Teresa of Avila

Teresa-of-Avila 200
Teresa of Avila's Vision of the Dove by Peter Paul Rubens circa 1614

An exploration of Carmelite Spirituality and contemplative prayer

Date:

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

Time:

9 am- 1 pm

Venue:

Cardinal Knox Lecture Room 
(Landsdowne Street, East Melbourne)

Saint Teresa was the realistic, vital and warm Carmelite spiritual reformer of 16th century Spain. Her collaboration with Saint John of the Cross contributed to a new springtime in the Church which at that time had been fractured by wars, scandals and the Reformation. Her spiritual reflections are among the great classics of the spiritual life and yet, her Way to Perfection and The Interior Castle have so much to offer women and men in the 21st century and to the difficult times for the Church today. Join us as we learn to live more intimately “seeking God” in our daily life.
