St. Teresa of Avila Comments
Less than twenty years before Teresa was born in 1515, Columbus opened up the Western Hemisphere to European colonization. Two years after she was born, Luther started the Protestant Reformation. Out of all of this change came Teresa pointing the way from outer turmoil to inner peace. Teresa's father was rigidly honest and pious, but he may have carried his strictness to extremes.

Thank you for this wonderful article. Keeps us in tune that she was human like me but made LOVE her first choice.
Will remember St. Threasa's words always :
"Prayer is an act of love, words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love."
Warm regards

The Way of Perfection
The Interior Castle (The Mansion)
St Teresa's story is so touching. What a great saint! I dont know how to get the book on prayer written by her.
Very simple to read, understand and meditate. St. Teresa of Avila's
special liking for romance novels is an addition to my knowledge about
her life. Thank you Fr. Nalkara.

Today is sept 29, 2010. My sweet wife Vicky and I(Mel) were married on this day. My wife died 8 years ago just short of our 40 wedding Anniversay. Our son Michael and Mandy, new daughter in law will be married on Oct 15, 2010 on St Teresa's feast day. Pray to God thru St Teresa to bless their marriage and life together. Vicky would be proud of her son and Mandy. I gave Mandy Vicky's wedding ring. Say a prayer to St Teresa for Mel who loves and misses Vicky so much that only tears can say how much that is until we meet again in heaven.
She has always been my favourite saint. She is such an inspiration to women everywhere...whatever their creed.
St. Theresa is patron saint for headaches, I understand. Is she helpful with the mentally ill. A Catholic Healer asked me to pray to her for my mentally ill daughter.
