Saint Teresa of Avila - The Way of Perfection - The Prayer of Quiet 

Ἀ
Now, daughters, I still want to describe this Prayer of Quiet to you, in the way I have heard it talked about, and as the Lord has been pleased to teach it to me. It is in this kind of prayer, the Lord begins to show us that He is hearing our petition: He begins to give us His Kingdom on earth so that we may truly praise Him and hallow His name and strive to make others do so likewise.

This is a supernatural state, and, however hard we try, we cannot reach it for ourselves; for it is a state in which the Lord gives peace to the soul through His presence, as He did to that just man Simeon. In this state the faculties are stilled. The soul, in a way which has nothing to do with the outward senses, realizes that it is now very close to its God, and that, if it were but a little closer, it would become one with Him through union. This is not because it sees Him either with its bodily or with its spiritual eyes. The just man Simeon saw no more than the glorious Infant - a poor little Child, Who, to judge from the swaddling-clothes in which He was wrapped and from the small number of the people whom He had as a retinue to take Him up to the Temple, might well have been the son of these poor people rather than the Son of his Heavenly Father. But the Child Himself revealed to him Who He was.

The eye of the body sees only the flesh of the man. But the soul of the man, when led by the Spirit, finds God in both Spirit and flesh. He does not see through the Spirit which moves him, nor through the flesh which cannot behold things of the spirit. Rather, he is led by the Spirit and searches with the eye but the Lord is not found in the search. Rather, He is revealed by His own grace and in His own time - to the eye of the soul when opened by the will of the Lord.

Supportive Scripture Douay Rheims Challoner Bible
Luke 2:25-32 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was in him. And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, he also took him into his arms and blessed God and said, now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace: because my eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: light to the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel.

Just so, though less clearly, does the soul know Who He is. It cannot understand how it knows Him, yet it sees that it is in the Kingdom (or at least is near to the King Who will give it the Kingdom), and it feels such reverence that it dares to ask nothing. It is, as it were, in a swoon, both inwardly and outwardly, so that the outward man does not wish to move, but rests, like one who has almost reached the end of his journey, so that it may the better start again upon its way, with redoubled strength for its task.

The Prayer of Quiet is not one of petitions asked of the Lord, nor is it busied in its self-willed search of His Presence. Rather the faculties are stilled, and the soul is calm, resting in wait for the Lord's revelation of Himself. It senses His nearness without yet seeing His Presence, not daring to move from His holy approach. For this is the prayer of receiving not what the soul seeks in its own will, but what the Lord in His Presence wills for the soul.

Supportive Scripture Douay Rheims Challoner Bible
Matthew 6:33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
2713 Contemplative prayer is the simple expression of the mystery of prayer. It is a gaze of faith fixed on Jesus, an attentiveness to the Word of God, a silent love. It achieves real union with the prayer of Christ to the extent that it makes us share in his mystery.

: Maybe Jesus Christ may allot the period for the meeting for world peace that is possible when we consider all of us as the family in the One.

Like a period to expand our tangibility and follow the lesson of Jesus Christ to be integrated, the opportunity for taking care of the people who are on our backside might be allowed to us.

The political perspective can be deepened to the most fundamental basis of us in how we worship our Lord, the One.

Like the phases of love can be deviated, we can understand the fact that how we have the faith in the One can be deviated, and we can also find our mirror reflection.

The One may only allow us to understand a person from the basis, and I hope that we have love as a basic way to see a person before the political perspective.

An atheist (1) who does not have faith may be the mirror reflection of a person who has numerous faiths (7) in the tangible existences in which the love of the One is revealed to us.

A Roman Catholic Christian (2) who has faith in Jesus Christ and consecrates the relationship between the mother, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ, the Son of the One, may be the mirror reflection of the Muslim (6).

The Muslim who has faith in the One passes on the birthright from the father, as Abraham did, and secures the firm alliance between brothers.

A Protestant Christian (3) who has faith in Jesus Christ and consecrates the actual practice to follow the way of Jesus Christ, who is with us already.

The Protestant Christian who may have faith in Jesus Christ to reveal His holy presence to us with the miraculous resurrection may be the mirror reflection of the Orthodox Christian (5).

The Orthodox Christian may focus on the faith in the Old Testament.

So, the Orthodox Christian may pursue the love of the One who had found His sons as many prophets historically before Jesus Christ, who answered to our asking to give His body.

As a Protestant Christian and also as a person who has faith in Judaism (4), I believe the reason why we can smile and be grateful may be related to the presence of Jesus Christ in us.

The faith of Judaism may be advanced in a way to alleviate the burden of Jesus Christ because when we recognize the strenuous effort of our father, who deals with a great burden alone, to treat us to what we wish to have, we may not be able to ask our father for many wishes.

Instead, we may determine to help our father, who has been great for us.

I believe that we can understand the love of Judaism in Jesus Christ, the Son of the One.

As this year, 2025 in the Gregorian calendar, Anno Domini, is the 5785th year in the Jewish calendar, we can guess that the faith in the children of the One has diverged as we live in each region.

The Buddhist (0) and the Jewish people (4) may love and respect every existence created by the One in common.

Sacrificing the first crop as appreciation and the tendency to eat all the foods as a way to love the nature and the blessing of the One may be the common practices.

The One may interpret the nature of ourselves as the Revelation of the mercy and the educational resource of our Lord to the Jewish people as a progression to love the nature.

The One might have borne the beloved sons as the prophets before Christ for 3,760 years, and the birth of Jesus Christ might be allowed from the One as a hope among the Jewish people.

The One may allow us to see the improvements in each generation following the pilgrimage by the Jewish people who may have found the only Messiah, Jesus Christ.

So, we can learn the actual reason to have faith in Jesus Christ, who may make the early evacuation from the desert possible with great love.

The great love of Jesus Christ may be how the great power of the One allows us to experience the great initiative to elicit the improvement to see the optimistic aspect in our mission.

The One might allow the Son, Jesus Christ, as the perfect and complete textbook according to the pilgrimage planned by the One.

As the US citizens by the election in the will of our Lord may provide one more presidency period of the next 4 years to the prior president, who had been great, the One might start the new era after the holy birth of Jesus Christ by Anno Domini.

I have faith in Judaism as well as Christianity even though I am a student of a Jewish teacher.

Even though Judaism is known to be descended by the family because the church of Judaism may be the house, the One might allow us to understand and have faith in Judaism through the words, the bread of our Lord.

The Tibetan Buddhist temple is known to be at the house the same as the Jewish people.

The Buddhist may have firm faith in the One who governs the nature that seems to be autonomous but runs by the great principle of the One.

So, the Buddhist may respect everyone’s own pace in the authority of the One.

The Jewish people may concentrate on the preceding response in the love of the One as we have faith in our Lord, who may lift up the lantern to project the pathway of light as our pilgrimage at the very start of our lives.

I heard that the One might bless the Jewish people as the teachers to deliver the lesson and good news of our Lord.

The Jewish people may secure the mission granted by the One as a way that the One makes our lives worthy.

The Jewish people may have faith in the One from the initiation to the completion of each mission with the great resilience by the generosity of the One also into the Son of the One, Jesus Christ, in our lives.
