Tormented by illness, doubts and self-recrimination, she gradually came to recognize the power of prayer and contemplation - her spiritual enlightenment was intensified by many mystical experiences, including the piercing of her heart by a spear of divine love. She went on to found seventeen Carmelite monasteries throughout Spain, yet always denied her own saintliness. This frank account is one of the great stories of a religious life and, after Don Quixote, Spain's most widely read prose classic.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated with an Introduction by J.
