In this episode of Tales of Glory, we dive into Part 2 of our exploration of Saint Teresa of Avila's Fifth Mansion, chapter 4 on the mystical Prayer of Union. She reveals how the soul knows for certain if it is experiencing the Prayer of Union and how it differs from similar mystical unions we may encounter. The saint leads through a more profound conversion of the soul as we wrap up our discussion on the Fifth Mansion.
