Discover the profound wisdom of St. Teresa of Ávila, the Doctor of Prayer, in this insightful exploration of her timeless teaching on prayer. Declared the first female Doctor of the Church, St. Teresa emphasized that prayer is “nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends”—a deepening relationship with Him who we know loves us.

In The Intimate Sharing of Friends, Fr. O’Keefe presents a clear and engaging overview of St. Teresa’s teaching on prayer, emphasizing:

• Prayer as a journey of growing friendship with God
