This new series of Morning Bell is a journey into prayer and the spiritual life with St Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), founder of the Discalced Carmelites, whose life we celebrate each October 15. The sayings in the series are taken from her own account of her story: the Life of Teresa of Jesus. We are particularly moved by St Teresa’s humanity, her courage to continue in prayer throughout her life, and her increasing sense of prayer as friendship with God.
The images for this series of a derelict farmhouse are by photographer and film-maker Jo Dolby – our second collaboration on Morning Bell. For more on Jo’s excellent work go to jodolby.com We hope that you will be encouraged in your own exploration into prayer and stillness. St Teresa is a passionate guide…
Grace and peace to you, Ian
