Description
This helpful booklet shows how to incorporate St. Teresa’s way of prayer, the prayer of recollection, into the centuries-old spiritual practice of lectio divina, and how to draw spiritual nourishment from both.
A closing series of reflection questions make this an ideal introduction to Teresian prayer for both group discussion and individual study.
St. Teresa of Jesus is the Church's great teacher of prayer, and lectio divina, the ancient Christian approach to praying over the Scriptures, is among the Church's most venerable prayer methods. In clear and practical language, the author explains the fundamental ingredients of Teresian prayer, and relates them to lectio (reading), meditatio (meditation), oratio (prayer), and contemplatio (contemplation), the four traditional elements of lectio divina.
