Guide for reading The Mansions published

Rome - Italy (01-10-2012).- The Commission for the Preparation of the V Centenary of the birth of Saint Teresa of Jesus has published the doctrinal guide for reading the Book of the Mansions (the Interior Castle).

Since the 2009 General Chapter, when the Order initiated the program for preparing the Teresian Centenary, the Commission has accompanied the reading of the Teresian works with a wide choice of reading guides and work sheets for each one of the books of the foundress of the Teresian Carmel.


Over the last three years, the Book of her Life, the Way of Perfection and the Book of the Foundations have been the object of shared reading by communities of friars, nuns, congregations of the Carmelite family, Lay Carmelites, and various groups associated with the discalced Carmel.


This year, the reading is centered on the Book of the Mansions (the Interior Castle). For this the Commission has published on the Web site for the preparation of the V Centenary (www.paravosnaci.com) the doctrinal guide for reading the Mansions.
