St. Teresa of Avila, Carmelite reformer and first female Doctor of the Church is one of the most beloved women of the Catholic Church. Born in 16th century Spain, Teresa lived a life of humor, prayer and mission as she worked towards reform. Her book, "The Interior Castle" is still widely read today, as St. Teresa is considered one of the great contemplative mystics of the Church.
