Cartusian Spirituality

Cartesian spirituality, rooted in the teachings of St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila, emphasizes deep interior prayer, mental prayer, and union with God through contemplative practices. It encourages cultivating an inner silence and focus, fostering a personal relationship with God beyond external rituals. The approach values self-awareness, purification of the soul, and the transformative power of divine love. Designed to deepen spiritual life, it involves reflective meditation, prayerful solitude, and striving for inner serenity and closeness with God, leading to spiritual growth and union with the divine presence.
