St Teresa of Avila
(Foundress of the Discalced Carmelite Order)

St Teresa of Avila was a very prolific writer. Although her writings are 400 years old, they are as meaningful to us today as they were when she wrote them. She died in 1582 and was canonized some 40 years later. She was the first woman saint to be declared a Doctor of the Church.

St Teresa of Avila Quotes will give you an idea of her writings:
  • On Adversity, Enlightenment, Faith, God
  • On the Eucharist
  • On Jesus, Love, Meaning of Life, Perfection, Perseverance
  • On Prayer, Recollection, Respect, Saints, Self-Constraint, Worry

Thank you! I read a short bio of St. Theresa awhile back, and have meant to go back and read more - she is an amazing Saint. I appreciate the references that reminded me to go back to her!
 
Sister, where were you when I bought the 3 volume Collected Works of St. Teresa from the ICS? Just kidding 🙂

Thank you for providing this resource to the forum members.

Thank you also for dedicating your life to Him!

God Bless.
