"I have written before on humility in prayer as St. Augustine sets it forth. In today’s post I look to the same topic, but this time as St. Teresa of Avila presents it in her treatise The Way of Perfection.
"In setting forth her teaching, I have substantially reworked the order of her reflections. St. Teresa was able to see the 'whole rose' of the topic, jumping from petal to petal without effort. I, being of a vastly inferior intellect and of far less purity of soul, must look to the individual petals in a certain order to understand. . . ."
In a recent commentary based on the writing of St. Teresa of Avila, Msgr. Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on some aspects o humility in prayer, including the importance of keeping our eyes on our heavenly goal.
