Santa, Doctora y Hija de la Iglesia


"Praised be the Lord, who has redeemed me from myself."

St. Teresa of Ávila or St. Teresa of Jesus. This Spanish saint is one of the heavyweights. She received visions and was a mystical writer. Founded the Discalced Carmelite reform and was declared a Doctor of the Church. This great saint has many quotables, like the bookmark of St. Teresa:
Let nothing disturb you; Let nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God. God alone suffices.


She is a patron of Spain, loss of parents, those ridiculed for their piety, against sickness, and those in need of grace.

Sancta Teresia Abulensis, ora pro nobis.
