Listen Later

Father Timothy Reid wraps up our exploration by discussing Saint Teresa of Avila's reflections on the Our Father, emphasizing the importance of asking for deliverance from evil and desiring eternal union with God. St. Teresa highlights that true prayer involves both vocal and mental engagement, seeking humility, charity, and detachment as we strive for a profound connection with God. This final episode underscores that The Way of Perfection is a journey of prayer, virtue, and unwavering trust in God.

Episode 20 covers the final chapter of The Way of Perfection, chapter 42.
