Interior Castle (part 7): Fifth Dwelling Place; Ch. 3 & 4: True Union with God
Manage episode 366918931 series 2495682
As we continue the journey through the interior castle, we grow deeper and deeper in our intimacy and relationship with the Lord. The 5th Dwelling Place/Mansion can be understood to be the deeper revelation of God to the soul and the joining of hands in spiritual courtship with our Divine Spouse. It is in anticipation of a deeper union to come in the remaining mansions. St. Teresa of Avila gives us the analogy of the silkworm turning into a butterfly to help us understand this interior transformation. In this podcast, we discuss the difference between the degree of prayer called “the prayer of union” and the “union of will with God’s will.” We also highlight some of the tactics of the devil in this dwelling place as well as counsels from St. Teresa on what we should do to grow in union with God.
