APOSTOLATE OF CONTEMPLATIVES

Renault, Emmanuel OCD. According to St Teresa of Avila, Teresa affirmed the contemplative ideal of Carmel. Nevertheless she inserted into her scheme an apostolic purpose which was on the same level as the contemplative. This study which follows Teresa step by step to discover her true mind and heart in her work shows how she wanted the contemplative and apostolic to be united in the lives of the nuns in the convents which she founded. 122pp PBK
