Catholic Spirituality: Saint Teresa of Avila and the Way to Perfection

Saint Teresa of Avila wrote her book Way of Perfection for the sisters in her order to lead them to growth in Catholic spirituality no matter where they were in their journey.

Like all of the works by spiritual masters, this book is challenging for most Catholics to work through, but the payoff is amazing. It is filled with spiritual beauty and practical advice.

Check out this introduction to the Way of Perfection.

If it hooks you and you want to explore it more, you can purchase the book or the audio book at the Bookstore here.
