Today is the feast of St. Teresa of Avila, founder of the Discalced Carmelites and the first woman honored as Doctor of the Church. Next year will be the 500th anniversary of her birth. I wish all the friars, nuns, brothers, sisters and laity with special devotion to her a happy feast day.
A few quotes:
“All the way to heaven is heaven.”
“The important thing is not to think much, but to love much.”
“It is love alone that gives worth to all things.”
“Thank God for the things that I do not own.”
"God save us from gloomy saints!"
