In Episode 11 of the Spiritual Espresso series, "Seeing Rome’s Castel Sant’Angelo as a Metaphor for the Spiritual Life," viewers are invited to see beyond stone and structure into the heart of the spiritual journey. Once a fortress, a papal refuge, and a mausoleum, Castel Sant’Angelo becomes a rich symbol of the soul’s own transformation—marked by seasons of struggle, refuge, and renewal. Let us think also of our souls as a spiritual castle, echoing the insights of St. Teresa of Ávila in the Interior Castle and those of St. Catherine of Siena.
Reflection Questions:
-
What “rooms” or inner spaces of your soul do you feel called to explore more deeply with God?
-
What spiritual “walls” might you need to strengthen—or lower—to allow God to move more freely in your life?
