Saint Theresa of Avalon

[Anim8]

Recently in my Theology class my teacher mentioned (more of on a side note) the visions of Saint Theresa of Avalon (sp?). I believe she said that it was all contained in her diary. Are any of Saint Theresa of Avalon’s visions available to read online?

I assume she meant Saint Teresa of Avila, 16th century Spanish mystic and Carmelite reformer, whose works are widely published.

Free e-book of St Teresa’s life (presumably the autobiography you’re after) can be downloaded from here.

If you don’t like reading a book from a computer screen you can print out the relevant sections.

Oops, looks like I was a little off in my spelling. Thank you so much for the link! St. Teresa’s visions are quite sobering. Much appreciated!
