Earlier today at a meeting of our new Book Club, I reported on The Interior Castle, written by St. Teresa of Avila in 1577. This evening I decided to introduce this inspired author briefly here by reprinting a short quote with meditative imagery:
"We consider our soul to be like a castle made entirely of a diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms . . . If I had understood as I do now that in this little palace of my soul dwelt so great a King, I would not have left Him alone so often."
St. Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle
