To bring heaven closer

Translated from the original by Ana Giménez.

Our spiritual journey is not an ideology, It´s a relationship with people

and with  the  three Persons of the Trinity. We nevertheless call on

social sciences for a XXI century  interpretation of Saint Teresa´s

doctrine.

In many ways she was ahead of her time and her insights have been

confirmed by modern science; in other cases the strides, as we may 

see,must be listened to and be embedded on  our spiritual life.

Yesterday, as a matter of fact, we were offered by Benedicto  the

possibility of starting a workshop -in groups or by ourselves-addressed

to those who are willing to increase their  self-steem and need

encouragement to interpret Teresa´s  teachings from nowadays point 

ofview.

As María and Ángel, aged 25, would say (have a look to what they

shared on the 13^th of  August) we are learning a way of living , not a

theoretical one. That requires a slow rhythm to add to our lives

what we really need.

Those who want to know this itinerary from my own interpretation, 

can read it in my book “Acercar el cielo” (“To bring heaven closer”) ,

published by Sal Terrae  in 2004.
