Woe to you, scholars of the law!
You have taken away the key of knowledge.
You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.
(Lk 11:52)

Jesus’ conflict with the “scholars of the Law” is very harsh. Instead of opening the door and inviting people to enter the way of knowledge, they locked the door and threw away the key. Saint Teresa of Ávila opened the door to holiness and invited everyone to enter and to experience the presence of God in prayer.
