Teresa’s Four Waters in Word, Image, and Song
Teresa’s 4 Waters in Word, Image & Song is a meditation on St. Teresa of Avila’s teaching and experience of prayer, which she likens to four ways of watering a garden. Each ‘Water’ reflects the dynamic progression of Teresa’s own response to God in prayer. This beautiful tapestry of music, art and nature is intended to invite a deeper awareness of God’s presence of beauty, peace and love within you and within all creation and to inspire you to share that Love with our world.
Music by Claire Sokol, OCD
