St. Teresa of Avila's Method of Prayer
On our YouTube channel we have started a series for Lent using St. Teresa of Avila's Method of contemplative prayer. We will be using reflections from the book, Divine Intimacy by Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D. He wrote these meditations over seventy years ago using material from St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Since his meditations follow St. Teresa's Method so closely, we believe they offer the perfect companion for Lent. If you would like to follow these meditations on YouTube the links are below.
The structure of her method is this:
Preparation: which consists in placing ourselves in the presence of God
Reading: choosing an appropriate passage from scripture or other source
Conversation: simply converse with God as with a friend
We can also add: Thanksgiving, Offering and Petition
at the end of our prayer but these are optional.
