Abstract
|Let nothing disturb you,|Let nothing frighten you,|All things are passing away:|God never changes.|Patience obtains all things|Whoever has God lacks nothing;|God alone suffices.|This one prayer of St. Teresa of Jesus, also know as St. Teresa of Avila, for me sums up the profound faith and knowledge of God she attained in her lifetime. God's fidelity!|Teresa was a Spanish nun, of the Carmelite Order and proclaimed Doctor of the Church. She is known as a theologian, and leader within her community and the Church. Grounded in her profound mysticism, and prophetic in her own way, she took on reforms within the Carmelite Order. Teresa was eventually joined by St. John of the Cross within that movement of reform that led to a split in the Order establishing the Discalced Carmelites . There is much to be said about Teresa that only time to read her biography would do her justice! Let's reflect on her name.
