Saint Teresa of vila was a prominent Spanish mystic, Carmelite nun, and writer of the Counter Reformation. She was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be, along with John of the Cross, a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. In 1970 she was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI. The kernel of Teresa's mystical thought throughout all her writings is the ascent of the soul in four stages (The Autobiography Chs. 10-22): The first, or "mental prayer", is that of devout contemplation or concentration, the withdrawal of the soul from without and specially the devout observance of the passion of Christ and penitence (Autobiography 11.20). The second is the "prayer of quiet", in which at least the human will is lost in that of God by virtue of a charismatic, supernatural state given of God, while the other faculties, such as memory, reason, and imagination, are not yet secure from worldly distraction. While a partial distraction is due to outer performances such as repetition of prayers and writing down spiritual things, yet the prevailing state is one of quietude (Autobiography 14.1). The "devotion of union" is not only a supernatural but an essentially ecstatic state. Here there is also an absorption of the reason in God, and only the memory and imagination are left to ramble. This state is characterized by a blissful peace, a sweet slumber of at least the higher soul faculties, a conscious rapture in the love of God. The fourth is the "devotion of ecstasy or rapture," a passive state, in which the consciousness of being in the body disappears (2 Corinthians 12:2-3). Sense activity ceases; memory and imagination are also absorbed in God or intoxicated. Body and spirit are in the throes of a sweet, happy pain, alternating between a fearful fiery glow, a complete impotence and unconsciousness, and a spell of strangulation, intermitted sometimes by such an ecstatic flight that the body is literally lifted into space. This after half an hour is followed by a reactionary relaxation of a few hours in a swoon-like weakness, attended by a negation of all the faculties in the union with God. From this the subject awakens in tears; it is the climax of mystical experience, productive of the trance. (Indeed, she was said to have been observed levitating during Mass on more than one occasion.) Teresa is one of the foremost writers on mental prayer, and her position among writers on mystical theology is unique. In all her writings on this subject she deals with her personal experiences, which a deep insight and analytical gifts enabled her to explain clearly. Her definition was used in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "Contemplative prayer [oracin mental] in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us."

Customers Reviews
"I have ordered multiple times and I have never been disappointed. The products are beautiful and have superb quality. Ordering is simple and delivery is fast. This company is awesome"
-- Mary

"Ordered a St. Michael's medal for my grandson for his graduation from the New York City Police. Upon arrival I was extremely pleased with the workmanship and quality of the medal. Customer Service was extremely helpful when I called for a small error and worked with me for my complete satisfaction. Would highly recommend this company and will shop with them again."
-- Sandra

"One of the best websites I have been on shopping for religious medals. Great variety."
-- Patty

"I bought a medal for my husband for Christmas. I know that he will love it. There is no saint for his name so I got the one that is nearest to his name. He won't have to use his middle name like he always does. I like dealing with Pictures On Gold. This was my second time."
-- Joan Cestra

"I've purchased two Miraculous Medals from you at different times. Both times I've been highly satisfied. They came when expected and there were no hidden costs. Actually look so much better than pictures on site. No photo does jewelry any justice. The recent one I got was in sterling silver. I bought it for a friend for Mothers Day as she keeps admiring the one I always wear. Won't she be surprised. Thank you for your meticulous work in creating this fine jewelry."
-- Virginia

"I received my St. Raphael dog tags today and I could not be happier. The dog tags themselves were stunningly beautiful and exceeded my highest expectation. My special instructions concerning the engraving, though a little complicated, were followed to a "t". Your website was easy to navigate, and very helpful in giving me a good image of what the dog tags and engraving would look like. The shipping was lightning fast -- the dog tags were shipped the same day I ordered them and I received them a mere two days later. Everything about my experience with PICTURES ON GOLD was top notch and I can't thank you enough for your outstanding customer service, and a medal that quite simply took my breath away. Linda"
-- Linda

"I ordered the medal yesterday, and received it today. I'm utterly astonished It is beautifully engraved and just the right size. You people rock I will be a repeat customer, you can bet on it. Gift box is also very pretty. My daughter will love wearing her patron saint as she starts her career. Thank you so much."
-- Theresa

""I searched the internet for just the right pendant. I found one exactly like I wanted at PicturesOnGold. I recently purchased a St. Francis gold plated pendant, inscribed with Protect My Dogs. Service was excellent, and have gotten lots of compliments on my pendant. I'll definitely order from Pictures on Gold again. Daniel was especially helpful. Thanks for a great product." Judy"
-- Judy Rice

"The Items I bought are flawless. I bought the religious medals St. Jude and St.Anthony COLOR EXCLUSIVE. There was a mistake in this order. One chain was the wrong size. When I called the Gentleman on the phone was very pleasant and professional and corrected the problem. I "Would" order from Pictures on Gold again. I would encourage Catholic Churches to look into ordering their patron Saint Name sake. I am trying to get my Church to do this. If you do order anything from this site you wilo not be sorry. Thanks Bill B"
-- William

"I am blown away by the customer service, attention to detail on personal requests, quick responses on emails, incredible value, really on every level this Company delivers I intend to use them in the very near future and refer them to friends and family An absolute delight to deal with The custom made saints medal came in a beautiful black velvet box with a ribbon, and then in another black box besides.. You won't go wrong with using this company IT ROCKS AND DELIVERS What a winning combo"
