Episode notes

Father Reid continues with Saint Teresa of Avila's exploration of the Lord's Prayer. St. Teresa emphasizes the importance of being mentally present and deliberate in prayer, urging us to seek divine grace with intention rather than worldly rewards. She delves into the nature of contemplative prayer, contrasting the prayer of quiet with the prayer of union, and encourages us to be receptive to God's presence, avoiding distractions to deepen our spiritual experience.

Episode 14 covers chapters 29-31.
