| Today,
when people are searching for meaning in their lives beyond
the stock market reports, or the latest political polls, spiritual
leaders, such as St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila
are receiving special attention.
Both saints lived at the time of the Inquisition, so, we shall
begin by reviewing that sad time in history, and then proceed
to a study of their lives, primarily for the purpose of receiving
inspiration and some direction from the past that will give
us greater ease in dealing with the present. |
