Saint Teresa of Avila | Free Book
"The important thing is not to think much, but to love much, and so
to do whatever best awakens us to love." —St. Teresa of Avila
Journey
to the 16th century to discover the fiery passion of Saint Teresa of
Avila, one of Christianity's most inspiring saints. A tireless
reformer and the mentor of Saint John of the Cross, Teresa's
greatest legacy is her revelation of ecstatic love for God—a love so
powerful that it pierces the heart like a burning sword.
Through
illness, hardship, and persecution by the Inquisition, this
courageous mystic lit the way with her unquenchable spirit to an
"interior castle," a place of unimaginable beauty and light where no
darkness can touch us. Saint Teresa of Avila gives you a direct link
to the living presence of this brave and gentle woman, to draw upon
her strength in your own times of need.
