  • 20. The Interior Castle: The Stages of Contemplation
    Jun 26 2023

    Fr. Reid reviews St. Teresa's stages of contemplation:

    • Passive Recollection
    • Prayer of Quiet
    • Prayer of Union
    • Spiritual Betrothal
    • Spiritual Marriage

    It’s Teresa’s belief that God gives this favor of contemplation to those who have renounced the world, at least in their desires, and whom He desires to call to advance further to a higher life.

    Episode 20 is a review of the book and the previous 19 podcast episodes.
