Teresa Wright: Men
built 654 days ago
Teresa established four more convents in the mid 1570s. Between 1573 and 1576, Teresa wrote The Foundations, a book of encouragement and prayer instruction for her nuns. Her greatest book, The Interior Castle, was written in 1577. It describes the development of mental prayer and stands out as a source of Teresa's most mature spiritual thoughts. She describes the soul as a castle and a journey to the soul as a series of seven apartments (or mansions) through which one must pass through prayer. Each apartment represents a different stage of the journey.

Strong words were exchanged, and Goldwyn fired Ms. Wright in 1948. Her film career faltered, but with some historical footnotes. She played the love interest of a paraplegic veteran portrayed by Marlon Brando in his film debut, "The Men" (1950). Ms. Wright accepted a far lower salary that she could command because of the movie's brave message.

Until about 1555, Teresa spent more time meeting with lay people of the village and less time in mental prayer. At the age of 39, she began having visions and hearing inner voices. Teresa felt that she had become too dependent on people and needed to develop a closer relationship to God.
