Title: Camino de perfección [por] Santa Teresa de Jesús
First published: 1964
Description: A seminal work of Spanish mysticism, Teresa of Avila's The Way of Perfection describes the practices and qualities of a prayerful life devoted to Christ . She discusses a variety of maxims related to the practice of prayer and concludes with a thought-provoking commentary on the Lord's Prayer. A work of sublime mystical beauty, The Way of Perfection is above all a treatise of utter simplicity that offers lucid instruction to all seekers of a more meaningful way of life.
Although it was written over 500 years ago solely for the nuns of her convent, her devotion continues to instruct and inspire believers today.
