LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - St. Teresa of Avila is the patron saint of Spanish Catholic writers and those who suffer headaches.

She was born in Spain and was raised by a pious father and fanciful mother.

St. Teresa of Avila was charming and often found herself enjoying worldly pleasures until she fell ill with malaria. She had a seizure and fell into a four-day sleep.

When she woke, she found she was paralyzed and remained so for the next three years.

Her sickness became an excuse to stop praying. Finally, at 41-years-old, a priest convinced her to return to praying. She conceded and discovered God's spiritual delights.

The Lord spoke to St. Teresa of Avila during her prayer times. She often became enraptured by the Lord and occasionally levitated.

By 43-years-old, St. Teresa of Avila turned to a live of poverty but was met with much hostility.

She spent her life fighting society as she shared the Gospel and realized those in the Church were to be feared more than the devil, as the devil can be expelled with a cry to Christ.

When she died at 67-years-old, she had founded the Discalced Carmelites and three years later was declared a Doctor of the Church for her writings and teachings on prayer.

St. Teresa of Avila's symbols are a heart, arrow and book. Her feast day is October 15 and she was canonized by Pope Gregory XV on March 12, 1622.
