Show HideAbout St. Teresa of Avila
Feast Day: October 15th
St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite nun in Spain. She had a great relationship with God in prayer. Both the Virgin Mary and Jesus appeared to her in prayer! She had a new approach to personal and contemplative prayer. She wrote at length about her experience with prayer and has guided many from her powerful, practical and graceful writings.
Although she was a contemplative nun, she spent much of her time founding new monasteries for the Discalced Carmelites and seeking to improve herself and her order. She was very ill during much of her life, suffering from seizures, three years of paralyzation and sickness. Even through illness, she was a woman who inspired and gave life to all around her through her trust and personal relationship with God.
St. Teresa of Avila was one of the first women to be named a Doctor of the Church. She is the patron saint of sick people and people in religious orders.
