Product: The Ultimate Catholicism Collection: The Writings and Prayers of Great Catholic Saints: Introduction to the Devout Life, True Devotion to Mary, The Interior Castle, Lives of the Saints, Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena, & The Spiritual Exercises
Brand: Audible
Description: The saints, the heroes of the Roman Catholic faith, lived lives of holiness, dedicated to serving God. The saints lived at different times in different places throughout history, but they all shared a love of God that has been documented through the teachings of the Church. Today, the saints serve as examples for all Catholics, showing the believers how to lead a more spiritual life. Catholic devotions are particular customs, rituals and practices of worship or in honour of the saints that are in addition to the liturgy of the Catholic Church.

The Ultimate Catholicism Collection: The Writings and Prayers of Great Catholic Saints includes Book 1: Introduction to the Devout Life. In this classic devotional book, St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) shows the average believer how to become closer to God, with valuable advice on a range of spiritual subjects. St. Francis avoids the extremes that might lead to imbalance; his purpose is to arouse in the listener a complete love of, and trust in God. This life of devotion is open to everyone. The book is easy to understand, explaining in simple terms how to expand one’s spiritual life, with examples from scripture and from a variety of other sources. It covers topics such as creation, cleansing the soul, confession, sin, death, judgment and paradise. First published in 1609, the book enjoyed great popularity in both Catholic and Protestant circles and was widely translated.

Book 2: True Devotion to Mary. St. Louis De Montfort (1673 - 1716) was a French Roman Catholic priest, and was made a missionary apostolic by Pope Clement XI. Montfort is considered as one of the early writers in the field of Mariology, and is also known for the practice of praying the Rosary. From his youth he displayed a singular devotion to the Virgin Mary.

Book 3: The Interior Castle, also titled The Mansions, is a classic work of Christian mysticism by St. Teresa of Ávila. Published in 1588, the text serves as a practical guide for those who wish to achieve mystical union with the divine. Teresa viewed the soul as a “castle made of a single diamond” which contains seven mansions or dwelling places. The concept of the immanence of God - who dwells in the seventh mansion - was central to her spirituality. The Interior Castle guides the believer on an interior journey through the seven mansions toward mystical union. Prayer and meditation are the preconditions for entering upon the quest. The first three mansions are entered through daily prayer, on the active stage of the journey. Mansions four to five involve mystical prayer, and is considered the passive stage as the divine role in the process increases. Mansions six and seven are the betrothal and the consummation of the mystical marriage.

Book 4: Lives of the Saints. Alban Butler (1710 - 1773) was an English Roman Catholic priest and hagiographer. His great work, The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints was first published in four volumes in London, from 1756-1759.

Book 5: Ascent of Mount Carmel by Saint John of the Cross, the Spanish mystic and poet, Catholic saint, Carmelite friar and priest, and a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation. The Ascent of Mount Carmel is divided into three sections, and presented as a commentary on four poetic stanzas. St. John portrays the various mystical experiences that the soul must endure in its ascent to the metaphorical Mount Carmel (the place of God or union with the divine).

Book 6: The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena. Catherine of Siena (25 March 1347 - 29 April 1380) was a mystic, activist, and author who had a great influence on Italian literature and the Catholic Church. Catherine's mystical theology was employed towards practical ends for her own spiritual life and those of others. She used the language of medieval scholastic philosophy in the "Dialogue", a poetic and prophetic work. Advocating for continuous, humble prayer, she hears God the Father answering her requests in order to receive help to be saved. Catherine gives special importance to mental prayer, but also recommends vocal prayer. Writing about God's truth and love, she considers charity to be the greatest virtue.

Book 7: The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola are a set of Christian prayers and meditations written by Ignatius of Loyola, a 16th-century Spanish priest, theologian and founder of the Society of Jesus. The work is divided into four thematic "weeks" of variable length, designed to assist the worshipper in acts of devotion.

Product: The Collected Letters of St. Teresa of Avila: 1578-1582, Volume 2
Description: This second and final volume of St. Teresa's correspondence begins with the year 1578, a most troubling time for Teresa. A keen observer of the reality around her as well as within, Teresa in these letters focuses light on many of the struggles in both the Carmelite order and the church of sixteenth-century Spain. She introduces us to major personalities who have left their mark on history.
Through her letters historians gain a better knowledge of the chronology of events in Teresa's life and how she related to the diverse people she had dealings with. A number of everyday particulars that compilers and editors of those times considered unimportant are today prized. Her worries, her troubles and triumphs, her expressions of sadness and joy, are all present here. With a compelling spontaneity, these letters disclose a Teresa in a complex variety of circumstances. The extraordinary gifts of grace bestowed by God on this Spanish Madre fortified her for a demanding ministry of service which entailed heavy responsibilities and that drew her contemplative soul into a whirl of activities. Because of the limited means of travel and communication in the sixteenth century, the organization of a reform like hers, with its unavoidable business matters, had to be dealt with chiefly through correspondence, a chafing duty that became one of Teresa's greatest trials. She often repeated that letter-writing was her biggest burden, a wearisome task that cost her more than all the miserable roads and bad weather experienced on her journeys through Spain.
With its endnotes, biographical sketches, and above all, fresh translation, this second volume of Teresa's Collected Letters opens again another door into the fascinating world of this saint, one of the greatest women history has known.

Product: St. Teresa of Avila: The Book of Her Foundations - A Study Guide; Revised Edition 2012
Description: The Book of Her Foundations is the least read, the least quoted, the least known of St. Teresa's works. Why this is so is probably because people do not think it is a spiritual book. But as you read on, you find that St. Teresa grew in holiness, not in spite of obstacles such as being entangled in lawsuits, mired down in disputes over dowries, tied up in interminable bureaucratic red-tape, and having to deal with unscrupulous businessmen, but because of these difficulties. None of these challenges impeded her spiritual growth. This study guide will help us to see how Teresa grew in holiness in the marketplace as much as in the cloister, perhaps even more so. None of us has been called to found convents, but like Teresa all of us are called to practice virtue and grow in holiness within the fray of daily life.

About The Autobiography of St. Teresa Of Avila by St. Teresa Of Avila

In this landmark of Christian mysticism, the revered Carmelite nun presents moving accounts of her profound religious experiences and ultimate union with God. St. Teresa wrote this memoir at the behest of her confessor. It offers a warm, accessible account of her transformation into an impassioned leader and reformer of church doctrine.
St. Teresa recounts her childhood and education in sixteenth-century Spain, her physical afflictions and spiritual crises, her many visions and mystical encounters, and her determination to embrace the contemplative life. In describing the ascent of the soul, she explains the core of her theology as a four-stage process that progresses from mental prayer to divine rapture. Next to Don Quixote, this timeless work constitutes Spain's most popular prose classic. It forms an excellent introduction to the saint's other writings and to the Christian tradition of mystical literature.

Product: Teresa of Avila: The Book of My Life
Description: Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582) is one of the most beloved of the Catholic saints. In 1562, during the era of the Spanish Inquisition, Teresa sat down to write an account of the mystical experiences for which she had become famous. The result was this book, one of the great classics of spiritual autobiography.

With this fresh translation of The Book of My Life, Mirabai Starr brings the inimitable Spanish mystic to life for a new generation, with contemporary English that mirrors Teresa's own earthy, vernacular Spanish, and that presents us with - four centuries after Teresa's death - someone we feel we know: a woman intoxicated with God yet filled with an overflowing love for the world.

Product: The Interior Castle
Description: The Interior Castle, or The Mansions, was written by St. Teresa of Ávila, the Spanish Discalced Carmelite nun and famed mystic, in 1577 as a guide for spiritual development through service and prayer. Inspired by her vision of the soul as a diamond in the shape of a castle containing seven mansions, she interpreted life as the journey of faith through seven stages, ending with union with God.

Product: The Complete Works of St. Teresa
Description: St. Teresa was born in Avila, Spain in 1515. She was the daughter of a business trader and his second wife. Her father died when Teresa was 15, being one of ten children. Shortly after this, Teresa was giving over to the care of a group of Augustinian nuns. After reading some of St. Jerome's works she resolved to enter a Religious order. In 1535, she joined the Carmelites. She lived in the convent, but often had severe illnesses that left her legs paralyzed for three years. However during this time she experienced a life changing vision of "the sorely wounded Christ."

From this point on, Teresa moved into a period of increasingly other-worldly experiences in which she came to focus more and more sharply on the passion of Christ. From these visions she set about reforming her order starting with mastering herself and following the rule. With a devoted group of supports Teresa tried to create a stricter form of the Carmelite order, known as discalced or shoeless Carmelites. During this time she wrote the Way of Perfection and the Meditations on the Song of Solomon. In 1567, she met with St. John of the Cross, who she encouraged to reform the male side of the Carmelite Order. Teresa died in 1582.

During her life St. Teresa founded many new convents, many of which still exist to this day. She also left a number of, now famous, writings, which are classics of Christian mysticism. These include the Way of Perfection and the Interior Castle. She also left two autobiographies, the Life of Teresa of Avila and The Foundations. Apart from these works a large collection of her letters, poems, prayers and maxims have also survived.

This collection brings together all of St. Teresa's known writings in a convenient single volume.

Description: Let nothing disturb you
Let nothing frighten you
All things pass away:

Patience obtains all things.
He who has God
Finds he lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
– Saint Teresa of Ávila
St. Teresa stands among the greatest of the mystics. It was her pursuit of Christ, not her pursuit of visions, that set her apart as one of the most notable saints in the history of Christendom. It is her dedication to her Lord, her Bridegroom, not her experiences, that render her worthy of imitation.
