Episode 14 – The Interior Castle: “Flight of the Spirit” and The Soul’s Desire for God

St. Teresa discusses a variation of a rapture she calls “flight of the spirit.”In this phenomenon, the soul is carried away with an alarming speed and an intensity that cannot be resisted. Fr. Reid explains how the soul desires to praise God unceasingly, embraces an intense joy in God, and is compelled to share this praise and joy with others.

Episode 14 focuses on The 6th Mansions, Chapters 5-7.
