Interior Castle Or the Mansions 1930

1930. This work was translated from the autograph of Saint Teresa of Jesus by a Benedictine of Stanbrook. After St. Teresa penned this work, it was eagerly read by those who were able to obtain copies. At the archiepiscopal Seminary at Salamanca it was read publicly after dinner; the students, contrary to custom, sacrificing the recreation rather than miss so edifying an instruction. The result was that several entered the religious life, one becoming a Franciscan, two others, who had already taken their degrees, joining the Discalced Carmelites.
