Conceptions of Divine Love by St. Teresa of Avila

Conceptions of Divine Love was written by St. Teresa with the idea of explaining and reflecting upon the meaning of certain words and phrases found in the Book of Canticles, commonly known as the Song Of Solomon or Song of Songs. Typical of the writings of the great mystic, the sublime reflections on the contemplative life in this title share a great affinity with her thoughts in The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection. Such a lover of God as St. Teresa of Avila could not help but be inspired by the sublime depths of the mystical conceptions mined from the within the most ardent and luxuriant love-song contained in the world’s literature. She often had the occasion, in the Divine office, to read passages from the Book of Canticles, and, dwelling upon these as she did, with loving thought, she desired to make the results of her meditations known to others.
