Prayer of Recollection

Turn Inward and Rest

Teresa of Ávila · 1515–1582

Teresa's prayer of recollection gathers your scattered powers and turns them inward, to the One who already dwells at the center of the soul. A few words, and then stillness, resting with the Friend who loves you.

How long?
