An Introduction to Teresa of Avila’s Seven Mansions
The structure of the mansions:
To begin with, Teresa uses two gorgeous visuals to help us understand the structure of our souls, and the dwelling place of the Lord.
Your soul is like two things: one, it is like a crystal, and two, it is like a many-tiered mansion. Putting them together, your soul is like a many-tiered mansion which is made out of crystal.
Prayer for the Feast of Pentecost
Oh, Most Holy Spouse, light of love, who proceeds from Father and Son, and from Son and Father to overshadow Mary, and the whole world; who abide in the Children of God; who ignite, and transform, and imbue life…
Petitionary Prayer for the Warning
Lord Jesus, we who have been killed in white martyrdom, for the sake of the kingdom, and having received our white robes, cry out to you with anguish: O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood upon those who dwell upon the earth? Lord, we have no wine! We beg you to send the Day of Your Mercy, and flood us, and the whole world, with the vision of your particular judgement. Knowing that it shall be fearful in the presence of God, we joyfully embrace the knowledge of our sins in exchange for the sanctity that shall flood our hearts, and will open us to an even deeper relationship with You, paving the way for your Era of Peace. Amen.
Prayer in the Morning
Lord Jesus, I am your handmaiden – arrange for me the graces you desire for this day. I will go where you direct, speak to whom you will, and listen to all you want me to hear. May my feet be your feet, my hands your hands, and mouth your mouth. May I speak only words that emulate you, and pursue all in profound humility. Amen.

How to Travel the Emotion Wheel
All 7 of these emotions are good, and serve a purpose of centering us in the Lord, but they can also become overwhelming when they grow too great, and threaten to control us, rather than guide us. Therefore, there is a process by which we can travel out of a specific emotion, and - unsurprisingly - that process is Biblical.
How Creation Speaks of God
Men show me through the practice of their virtue, but the sky, plants, and water speak of me no matter their behavior or flow. Men also show me through their creations. If there is truth and beauty within the creation, then they are speaking of me.

Radical Femininity
Men are called by God to provide the necessities of life. By forming himself into the stability and backbone of the home, the man paradoxically earns himself freedom to live a life more free from labor. He finds himself free to participate in the polis of the larger community, because he has provided so well for his intimate community.
The woman, also, finds herself living a paradox. Because her husband has shown himself eager to provide for her, and grant stability, she finds herself free to labor. Her heart overflows with confidence and nurturing love, and everything to which she puts her hand prospers. Her activity increases, when he provides stability; and his interior life expands, when she proves herself worthy of holding his heart.

The Flight House Prayer
Holy Family, I entrust myself to you. Like a little child alongside Jesus, I will follow you wherever you intend to lead me. Your Flight into Egypt was a time of renewal. It redeemed the horrors suffered by the Israelites in the desert. With perfect trust, you did not overstrike stones or build golden calves, but followed the pillar of fire, Jesus, and His Father in Heaven.
