St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle

In a previous post a motivational saying from St. Teresa of Avila was used, along with some links to books and resources on her life, and writings. As I was searching for prayers for morning prayer, I happened upon this St. Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle. So the link is included so you too can read one of her writings. She writes this:
"I BEGAN TO THINK OF THE SOUL

AS IF IT WERE A CASTLE

MADE OF A SINGLE DIAMOND..."

Come explore with St. Teresa your soul.... "as if it were a castle made of a single diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions."

And thanks to Catholic First for hosting this website on prayers and other classics on prayer.
