St Teresa Contemplative Prayer 4+

The St. Teresa of Avila Contemplative Prayer mobile app is filled with features to help you learn more about the Catholic Church's teachings on contemplative prayer. It introduces users to the Discalced Carmelite Order and the contemplative prayer approaches suggested by two of the greatest teachers of prayer in the Christian tradition, namely St. Teresa of Avila's Prayer of Recollection and St. John of the Cross's Prayer of Loving Attention.

The Carmelite community consists of priests, brothers, nuns, and laity serving the Roman Catholic Church through lives of prayer and ministry. It traces its origins back to twelfth-century hermits on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. The Discalced Carmelite order was established by St. Teresa of Avila in 1562 and St. John of the Cross in 1568 to renew the commitment to contemplation, simplicity, and community.
