Prayer the Hidden Castle
Prayer is like a soul searching for her castle as St. Theresa of Avila describe about. God has made for each one of us a castle to stay in union with Him. How can we approach this castle? By humility and holiness we find our room in Heaven. That’s what Jesus says: “In my Fathers’ house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.”Jon 14:2. Jesus himself says about this castle and the special place which he already prepared in his Spirit. The soul will understand this by the grace of God. Without His grace we cannot do anything. God’s presence will be there to save His children and mould them according to their faithfulness in Him. Our faithfulness should be tested by fire. ‘but each person's handiwork will be shown for what it is. The Day which dawns in fire will make it clear and the fire itself will test the quality of each person's work. 14 The one whose work stands up to it will be given his wages; 15 the one whose work is burnt down will suffer the loss of it, though he himself will be saved; he will be saved as someone might expect to be saved from a fire.’ 1Cor. 3: 13-15.
