| Summary: | In this article it will be shown that St. John of Avila was the true teacher of St. Teresa´s life of prayer. This was via the Audi,filia, which it is highly likely that she read, as well as trough the books of Louis of Granada which contain both the doctrine of the Audi,filia and the teachings of St. John of Avila. The Venerable Louis was the great disciple of Saint John of Avila, and, at the same time, he was the great teacher of St. Teresa. It was Avila the Preacher who approved the Book of Life of St. Teresa in his letter number 158 of 1568, in which he gave her wise counsel for the future. In particular it will be demostrated how the most influential people in St. Teresa´s new life of prayer, which began in 1554, were disciples and friends of St. John of Avila. These were St. Francis of Borja, Baltasar Alvarez, Louis of Granada, St. Peter of Alcantara and very probably Mary Jesus of Yepes. This article opens a new avenue of research. Not only is St. John of Avila the «Golden Key» of the Spanish mystic, having approved the Book of Life of St. Teresa. He is also the teacher of teachers, and the teacher of St. Teresa of Jesus. En este artículo presentamos cómo San Juan de Ávila ha sido el verdadero maestro para la vida de oración de Santa Teresa de Jesús. Lo ha sido directamente a través del Audi,filia, que ella muy probablemente ha leído, y también a través de los libros de fr. Luis de Granada, que contienen la doctrina del Audi,filia y las enseñanzas de San Juan de Ávila. Fr. Luis ha sido el gran discípulo de San Juan de Ávila y, a su vez, gran maestro de Santa Teresa. El Maestro Ávila ha sido el que ha aprobado el camino de oración de Santa Teresa en la carta 158, de 1568, dándole sabios consejos para el futuro. Presentamos especialmente cómo las personas decisivas en la nueva vida de oración de Santa Teresa, comenzada en 1554, son precisamente discípulos y amigos del Santo Maestro Ávila. Así son San Francisco de Borja, el también jesuita Baltasar Álvarez, fr. Luis de Granada, San Pedro de Alcántara y muy probablemente la beata María Jesús de Yepes. Se abre así un nuevo camino de investigación. San Juan de Ávila no es solo la «llave de Oro» de la Mística española al aprobar el Libro de la Vida de Santa Teresa. Es también el místico Doctor, Maestro de maestros, también el maestro de Santa Teresa de Jesús. |
