Ive felt like she has been instrumental in my life. I didn’t know much about her but Ive felt this strange connection to her for a very long time. When I watched this video, I just broke down into tears of gratitude to her. I don’t understand any of this. But its real to me, and I hear her say to me to follow her path to God.
Please, read her books, they are wonderful.
Ooooh, you don’t realize how special this call is! She’s leading you to conversion the the Catholic Church. This is a grace from God! You have been not only chose but being prepared!!
I don’t understand any of it to be honest. Ive felt her in my life when I rembraced my Faith and my would be spouse converted from Judaism. But it didn’t last. 25 years later she got involved in affairs, left the Faith and divorced me. I hear voices, not audible, but outside my normal conscious space. I feel she is teaching me how to discern and instructs me to write down these voices. So I have 80 pages. And I really don’t know why I am doing this except for that it is somehow important. And I have never read any of her works. Its just this odd sense of knowing that she is involved in my life.
St. Teresa of Avilla pray for us❤
I can appreciate the Spanish guitar while learning about this Spanish Saint.
it’s a nice touch for sure
Saint Therese, who said: "More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.”
Love her works " The Interior Castle" and the autobiography about her life.
Happy Mother's day! As a spouse of a daughter of Avila.
St. Teresa’s spiritual experiences are available to you as well. Don’t separate yourself from her; that is what the ego would have you think. Instead, invite the Holy Spirit to purify your perception. It will take time for this to be accomplished because resistance is strong at first. However, with time, you will have spiritual experiences that give you an ever growing confidence to continue on. The Holy Spirit, which was placed in your mind by God, only needs a little willingness on your part. His task is to heal your mind of the belief in separation from God. Did you pick up on St Teresa’s experience of oneness with God? That is our true state and it has never changed. Our belief that it has is the problem.
You mean st Therese of the infant Jesus, the French? St Teresa, called La Grande, is an amazing saint! The way she speaks to God and not about him ! Helps me so much in meditating on his sacred humanity !!!
Yes perseverance is necessary
Astonishingly, beautiful insight. This was extremely encouraging and helpful to me, so thank you for sharing.
I guess it's pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Calvin Lyle ehh try Flixportal. Just google for it =) -enrique

Dr Caroline Myss gives a much deeper & more intimate presentation of this truly wonderful, insightful mystic in her 'Entering the Castle' & associated Book. Truly a profound teacher and couragous soul.
This is exactly what I was looking for--information to learn more about St. Teresa. I will continue to seek out more about her; she and I would have been very close friends, for I can relate quite a bit already of what I found out from her so far. Praise God that she wrote much down to share with us. 🙏💗
St Teresa pray for me🙏🏽

Amazing saint. Saint Teresa of Avila pry for us.
ST. TERESA OF AVILA: “The most certain sign that we are keeping these two precepts [of loving God and our neighbor] is our love of our neighbor, for whether we love God can not be known, but neighborly love is unmistakable. If we fulfill this precept very perfectly, we have done everything.”
eternally grateful for her
“outer charm and inner serenity “
Thanks 💜
Praise God and Mother Mary Amen 🙏🙏🙏Ave Maria 🙏❤️🙏😇
Love
Amen
Amen 🙏
Consider Saint Teresa of Avila's distinction between Union & Rapture. I remember reading about it back in 2000. I found her teachings very illuminating. And many Catholic teachers highly regard her. She treats of the difference between Union and Rapture, and explains what a rapture is. She also says something about the good that a soul derives from being, by the Lord's goodness, brought to it. She speaks of its effects:
I wish that I could explain, with God's help, the difference between union and rapture, or elevation, or flight of the spirit or transport-for they are all one. I mean that these are all different names for the same thing, which is also called ecstasy. It is much more beneficial than union, its results are much greater, and it has very many other effects as well. Union seems to be the same at the beginning, the middle, and the end, and is altogether inward. But the ends of rapture are of a much higher nature, and their effects are both inward and outward. As the Lord has explained things hitherto, let Him do so now. For if His Majesty had not shown me ways and means of saying something, I certainly should never have found any.
All Saints and Mystics (It can be said) had some sort of Experience with either Divine Light or Divine Sound (the WORD) or both. Often, they would leave their bodies and visit HEAVEN or speak with ANGELS. One can do this too, if they truly desire it. Just Chant or Sing the word HU (short version of Hallelujah, and more powerful). Look for the Light and listen for the Sound (music, nature sounds etc.) The LIGHT and SOUND of GOD will transform a person into the Mystic they wish to be...if their desire and dedication is strong enough. BLESSINGS....
Mamma Mary be my mother too.
She has never left, Amen
It is always recommended to read the life of the Saints as they write it and not some writer or speaker talks "about" them. It is two different things: So St Teresa of Jesus, life: her books "the foundation" Interior Castle (the Collected works of St. Teresa of Avila) All are written by the Saint herself.
Reading from writers "about" the Saints is not as inspiring and "accurate" as reading it directly from the Saints her/himself.
❤Exactly correct. That is why I love the Carmelite Saints and read their books. I avoid any book ‘about’ a Saint. When the Saint tells you directly you have need of no other secondary source. We are blessed by many writings of the Saints and not just Carmelite. My favourite Saint right now is Augustine, but Teresa was my first and will always be the first Saint in my heart. Interior Castle was the book that made me Catholic.
Teresa like all Saints understood the command of Jesus: our first love is God. Our second is the love of others. Works, how important they are! To serve is to love. All those who claim to ‘love’ but deny the Saints do not know how to love.
Watch the white beam of light. It keeps changing, but it looks like an old painting, why would it change? It's freaking me out.
I'm currently reading about her now 🙂 and at 6:00 that's brilliant, haha
You would love Sri Krsna Caitanya, a saint from the 15th century Bengal. He started Gaudiya Vaisnavism. He taught of God as a friend, lover, child, and opened up the possibility of communing with Him in the most intimate pleasing way. His philosophy is that of simultaneous oneness and difference, or asymmetrical non-duality. It means the soul and God have the same qualities, but not in the same quantity. Everything including souls are pieces of God, but God is the complete source. God is the Self and we are the self. He is the Self of the self.
He also taught that God is RadhaKrsna, feminine and masculine. He is believed to be the embodiment of both of Them who came to give entry to The Highest Divine Love. He also stressed humility and prayer, but mostly crying out and glorifying the holy names.
Im sorry to inform the author of this content to correct the transcript.... The transcript is not consistent with the background female voice. God Bless.
❤🙏🙏🙏❤😇
Are you from Scotland? 🏴
Sri Chinmoy, speaking on a Catholic Saint, does that make it more valid? I was liking this til then.

I don't know where you got your info on this very special lady ,,,Theresa ,,, I've read some document and her true life ,,, and she was sent to the convent by force because she was starting to show interest to one of her distant cousin ,, and her father would not accept that kind of scandal in the family ,,, so he sent her off to the convent ,,, this was not her choice ,, she was even angry about being sent off like that ,, she was not into prayers as you think , not at the beginning ,,, but eventually she slowly turned to prayers ,, she became a great saint because of her sufferings ,,, I really liked her , because she showed a true humility of her situation ,,, ,, and Jesus loved her because her love for Jesus was honest ,, she was like any other girls her age ,,, but her destiny took a different turn ,, people should read her true life story ,, and even video's made about her ,,, I tip my hat off to her ,, even amidst her struggles of her faith ,, she helped me to be honest about my love for Jesus ,
Have you read her autobiography?
I dont describe myself as a religious person, yet I
do feel am a spiritual one. maybe because am a premie of 5/6 months, maybe because my parents always were and are open minded, but anyway, I don't remember it as I was 3 but i used to go to Greece for holidays. and my parents always told me i knew things, i knew streets and where they were.
i remember this tho, because i was older, me and dad went to this tiny cute religious shop always in greece i think was @ Paros, well dad brought someting and was paying and there were statues of S Mary so i was watching one. was a typical statue of her, with monnalisa alike smile that was there and not, and anyway the, well face was calm.
so i went near dad, that was almost finished paying
bored i looked again the shop
and i swear, i wasnt that far from her
she seemed sad! i was like wtf so i went to the statue again (few steps) and she was again normal.
so i panicked and asked dad about it, we went out and he just smiled and told me it was because probably she wanted me close to her.
i djnt feel the connection to her anymore but Theresa on other hand, i do really love her and again, i dont follow masses and such, so it must means shes and s Mary too are with me♡
My name is teresa and I went to be the next saint teresa
Its happening to me
Mystical experience
Or, it could also be said in this way...."chakras" can be opened in either a holy way or ways, or in a unholy way or ways (demonic ways) ("tantra")
Therefore.....why is it so seemingly difficult to adopt and be accepted within a lifestyle that has Christ as it's main focus no matter what? A good even Catholic example of that would be Saint Joseph Labré.
Haha💔
Hello
So then, it's essentially all about the external catalyst of lifestyle coupled with inward attitude (faith?).

@frederiquecouture5099 what?
@frederiquecouture5099 can you please explain your response?
@@lonelystupidwar I would stay far away from anymore telling you to open up “chakras” or promoting Hindu/Buddhist syncretism.
@@AugsburgPilgrim why's that please?
So was saint Teresa an active sister
Not well researched. Some inaccuracies.

Our Lady of Fatima, Undoer of Knots, please pray for me that I may become a successful Catholic Social Media Influencer worthy of your patronage, love, consolation, blessings, guidance, protection, and love. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
this lady sounds like Minnie from Skins
You cannot call her “Avila”! That is the city she comes from.
I LG l
Wow, sorceress dies on 8/4, the 216th day of the year. 216=6x6x6. This info is mentioned at 8:40, by coincidence...
Dearest beloved ones, I assert to you that it is needless now for you to approach God through Mary, but rather through the One that said, "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life" no one comes to the Father except by Me. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Please let others have their beliefs. I'm not Catholic, either; I love reading about the Christian mystics. Evangelicizing among those who already love Jesus is... ironic.
You don’t know our faith. Praying to Saints to God,are since the time of catacombs
ALLAH IS ONE
Only God not Allah!
You both argue of the same God
In 1566, she wrote Way of Perfection? 1+5=6, so 666, numerologically. Just heads up, to y'all Christians...
St. Theresa of Avila ..Pray for our Family and the whole World. Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏
Calm down, Schizo.
Actually 1566 it's 1+5=6, 6÷6=1, 6+1=7 (Perfection). Everybody can play that game Satan. 😂
Teresa’s parents were crypto Jews, as was she.
