Oct. 15 – St. Teresa of Avila:
A reformer and mystic, St. Teresa revitalized the Carmelite Order in the 1500s, founding more than 30 monasteries (17 for nuns and 15 for friars) and writing timeless works such as The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection. Her deep prayer life and devotion remind us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus; seek friendship with the Lord; and no matter how blessed or broken we are, be certain that God loves us.
