Open letter in which Pedro Poveda discusses the importance of Covadonga as the "cradle" of the Teresian Association, dated in Madrid, December 1928.

June 5,1927. Letter to the students of a center in Barcelona.
During the late 1920s and particularly in the 1930s, in the atmosphere of accelerated secularization in which he lived, Poveda referred with renewed emphasis to the men and women of the early Church, who were capable of keeping their faith and confessing it in the midst of a pagan society,

Using a format to comment on a sentence from Scripture, Poveda classifies such writings as "Considerations." This is part of a set celled "Jesus, Teacher of prayer."

Written in the format of an open letter, this initiates a set of basic writings that are appropriate to know the spirituality of Poveda. These were published under the title Jesus Teacher of Prayer in Córdoba on February 10, 1922. 

First published in the periodical "El Pueblo Católico" (Catholic People) in Jaén on April 1, 1915.  In this text on the contemplation of the Crucifix, Poveda begins to develop an aspect of his spirituality that was gradually strengthened in later documents.

April 9, 1915; first published in October 1916. Personal letter to one of his first collaborators. Belonging to God was inspired by an article by the Augustinian priest Restituto del Valle: "Apuntes acerca del caracter de Santa Teresa" (Notes concerning the character of Saint Teresa), published to mark the centenary of the beatification of St Teresa. From this time onwards, Poveda proposed to his collaborators the option of a life fully given to God, a life also fully human and perfected by the divine. 

September 1914. The most decisive influence for Christianity, in all ages, was that of women, an "undeniable" and "fruitful" fact, according to Poveda. It is not surprising that in this same year, 1914, in his opening talk at a seminar in Jaen Poveda would speak at some risk, given the state of the feminist question in certain ecclesiastical circles about whether there was need to study the topic of women. Taking this approach, he had to face the mistrust of conservative opinion on one side and of the so called "progressives" on the other, at a time when suffragist feminism was emerging.

"St. Pedro Poveda, grasping the importance of the role of education in society, undertook an important humanitarian and educational task among the marginalized and the needy. He was a master of prayer, a teacher of the Christian life

"For us he was not the Founder, full of business and work, of whom we would afraid to steal his precious time; rather, he was a father who was interested in our issues as if they were his; he advised us with affection, he used to go out of his way for our good and he was very generous in his consolations in our misfortune.
