Spiritual Advice for Parents Regarding Daughters and Religious Orders


Picture source

The following advice was given by Saint Teresa of Ávila, to parents. She wanted them to be careful when permitting their daughters to enter certain religious orders which gave the women too much freedom*.

"... Let them be prepared to allow them to marry far beneath their stations rather than put them into convents of this kind*. Unless they are very devoutly inclined and God grant that their inclinations may lead them into what is good!..."
