More wisdom from Ralph Martin

Teresa of Avila alternates between calling the Lord the King and the Spouse. It’s very interesting, we have fear of the Lord and love of the Lord, and both really go together. The reality of the majesty of God, the transcendence of God, the holiness of God, the respect for God is really strong in her, and the intimacy of spousal love. Both are strong themes that you see reflected in how she relates to the Lord.
