- Elizabeth Catez (Sr Elizabeth of the Trinity) wrote two retreats towards the end of her life.

- The Interior Castle, also known as the Book of Mansions, is considered Teresa of Avila’s greatest and most mature explanation of the spiritual journey.

- Jean Pierre de Caussade’s Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence for everyone, simplified and illustrated by Elizabeth Ruth Obbard.

So it is with this fine translation.” Andrew Louth, Fairacres Chronicle
