Beginning a Deeper Prayer Life with Saint Teresa of Avila - Second Mansions - TOG EP 124

Tales of Glory - A podcast by Michael Norton

How does the soul know it has entered the Second Mansions stage of prayer life? What kind of struggles and warfare does the soul embrace as it tries to move deeper into Jesus? Over the last three episodes of The Interior Castle, we acquired our fundamental knowledge of prayer life and the practice of His presence, and we are invited to move into the Second Mansions.
