20. The Interior Castle: The Stages of Contemplation
The Commentaries
St. Teresa defines contemplation as the prayer that God affects within us. It comes to us as a gift from God. This drawing inward, like a turtle drawing into his shell, doesn’t happen through our own meditation of God dwelling within us (which she says is a very good meditation), but only happens because God gives us the grace.
