St. Teresa of Ávila on Prayer as Friendship
Teresa of Ávila, a Carmelite nun, dedicated her life to prayer and teaching others how to grow closer to God.
Prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God. … Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.
According to Teresa, prayer brings us into deep contact with Christ and enables us to act for him in the world.
Author's summary: Teresa of Ávila views prayer as a friendship with God.
