BOOK
Interior Castle or The Mansions
Published by Laeserin
The Interior Castle (Las Moradas, or The Mansions), written by St. Teresa of Ávila in the sixteenth century, maps the soul’s ascent to God. Teresa likens the soul to a castle of clear crystal, ordered in seven dwelling places, or mansions. In the innermost chamber God Himself abides; prayer is the way that leads within. Beyond the outer walls lie the world and the claims of the flesh; to enter the castle is to turn from distraction and set one’s face toward Him who dwells at the center.
