Friday is the Feast Day of St Teresa of Avila
This Friday is the Feast day of St Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church, a Carmelite Nun and Spanish Mystic (1515-1582). As a Catholic during the times of the Protestant Reformation and the Inquisition, St. Teresa of Avila’s experience of living a faith-filled life was uniquely challenging – and rewarding. Unafraid to do what she felt was God’s will for her, St. Teresa encountered much resistance from her family, friends, and even the Church. However, God graced St. Teresa with fortitude and perseverance, and as such, she became a great saint and one of the first woman Doctors of the Church. Saint Teresa is best known for her extensive writings on the Counter Reformation and prayer life. Her books ‘Interior Castle’ and ‘Way of Perfection’ have helped many believers since their publication. The symbols related to her are a book, a heart and an arrow.
She is the patron saint against headaches, against sickness, for lace makers and the patroness of Spain. You can watch a short clip on this wonderful saint below.
