In perhaps the finest introduction to contemplative prayer ever written, St. Teresa of Avila instructs her nuns, and also us, in the life of contemplative prayer with her characteristic wisdom, spontaneity, and wit. In the form of a commentary on the Lord’s Prayer, Teresa explains how charity, humility, and detachment form the foundation of true contemplative prayer, which she describes as the experience of the presence of God, a simple gazing on the face of the Lord and a resting in His presence.
