Praying the Our Father with Teresa of Avila
Steven Payne O.C.D.
“When you pray, say Father, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us and lead us not into temptation.” This is the version we find in Luke but St. Teresa of Jesus (Avila) had a different approach to a familiar prayer when her sisters asked her to teach them to pray.

The Moral Dimension of Carmelite Prayer
Steven Payne O.C.D.
There is an apparent disconnect we observe, in so many cases today, between prayer and morality, between what some contemplatives profess or claim to experience and the lives they actually lead. If prayer and morality truly go together as Carmelites always claim, why is it that seemingly prayerful people, at times, do such terrible things? What makes good contemplatives go bad? How do we avoid such pitfalls in our own search for God? A proper understanding of how things can go wrong can help us in trying to make them go right. With this, perhaps we can shed some light on what could be called the moral dimensions of Carmelite prayer.

Reflections on the Doctorate
of St. Thérèse
Steven Payne O.C.D.
As we remember, in the late 1990’s, the idea of Thérèse as Doctor of the Church led people to remember her not just for her example but also for her teaching, of her little way of confidence in God’s merciful love, of her message that we can become saints by doing ordinary things with extraordinary love, or however they chose to express it.
