St Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle

In this course/module, there will be an introduction to different kinds of prayer, Lectio Divina, and we shall explore the work of St Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle. We shall learn about the various stages of prayer, and consider the distinction between ascetical and mystical prayer; the distinction between active prayer and passive prayer, as well as the transition from one to the other.  We will also learn to recognise the signs of true growth in holiness, and consider important principles of spiritual direction.

This course runs for 16 weeks, 32 hours of teaching in total. We meet on Thursday mornings.
