A rich and extensive range of writing by Pedro Poveda was preserved after his death in 1936 and is now being published in an eight volume Critical Edition, of which his collected spiritual writings, Cre\u00ed por esto habl\u00e9 (\u0091I believed, therefore I spoke’), is the first. The texts in this book have been freshly translated into English from that volume. They have been selected to present the key ideas for an understanding of Poveda’s project, the Teresian Association, which he founded in 1911.Poveda wanted his collaborators to \u0093know the same things according to the spirit of Christ and the Association\u0094. Those \u0093same things\u0094 are his concern here: the identity of the Association and its members, its purpose, the spirit which informs it, its educational and apostolic mission to \u0093bring the good news of education and culture\u0094 to the modern world; how it is \u0093a Work for difficult times\u0094. Although these texts are addressed primarily to the members of the Teresian Association, they will also interest those who wish to know Poveda’s spirituality, addressing Christians engaged with education and culture in our world. \u00ab,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
