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.
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.
