That's quite a list! Good for you....and the kids..."Twas brillig and the slithy toad did gire and gemble in the wabe." (phonetically written.
I'm impressed that you're doing Interior Castles - I would think that would be very dense reading for any age.
Caroline M, the first few sections, in which Teresa describes the idea of the soul as a castle and talks about the "loathsome reptiles" in the courtyard, and how the soul without prayer is stuck in that courtyard, was surprisingly accessible. We didn't go further than that, and I'm going to fess up right here that I've never finished Interior Castle myself. But it was a good snippet of Teresa's thought for her feast day.
