Teresa de Ávila
Teresa de Ávila, also known as Saint Teresa of Jesus, was a prominent Spanish mystic, reformer of the Carmelite Order, and author during the 16th century. Born on March 28, 1515, in Gotarrendura, Spain, she is best known for her profound spiritual writings, including 'The Interior Castle' and 'The Way of Perfection,' which explore the nature of prayer and the soul's journey toward God. Her efforts to reform the Carmelite Order led to the establishment of the Discalced Carmelites, emphasizing a return to a more austere and contemplative life. Canonized in 1614, Teresa was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1970, making her one of the first women to receive this honor, and she continues to be a significant figure in Christian mysticism and spirituality.
