St. Teresa of Avila gives suggestions on what to do if you don't have a prayer life or you feel like your prayer life is not advancing.

In this episode, we discuss:

What to do if your prayer life isn't advancing
Importance of the love for one another
Detachment from all created things
True Humility
Virtue inspires love

“I shall mention some things that are necessary for those who seek to follow the way of prayer; so necessary that even if these persons are not very contemplative, they can be far advanced in the service of the Lord if they possess these things.”
