St Teresa of Jesus (Teresa of Avila), Doctor of the Church - Oct 15
Born in Avila (1515), Teresa joined the Carmelite Order at eighteen and chose Christ as her. Her deep life of prayer and mystical writings led Pope Paul VI to declare her the first woman Doctor of the Church in 1970. Teresa’s writings, such as Interior Castle, teach seekers how to progress from vocal prayer to contemplative union with God.
