St.
Teresa of Avila is one of the greatest teachers of the spiritual life
in the history of the church. She wrote four major books about prayer
and left three volumes of letters.
In her time and culture, women were expected to be quiet and obey men,
the Inquisition held Spain in its grip, and the Roman Church was
reacting to the Protestant movement by entrenching itself in rigid
orthodoxy.
Into this darkness Christ brought light through this woman who loved
him passionately. Christ answered her love with gifts of leadership and
great insight.
Teresa’s gifts were also Spanish gifts. She was a daughter of a stark
windswept land, textured by the mix of many cultures. Christians,
Muslims and Jews had lived there together for centuries.
The blue Moorish tiles forming stars of David in the background of this
icon bear witness to Teresa’s Jewish blood and the rich spiritual
heritage of the east.
St. Teresa reformed her Carmelite Order, founding seventeen convents
throughout Spain. Her foundations were small, poor and strictly
disciplined, with emphasis on contemplative prayer.
Yet the nuns danced in their times of recreation, and Teresa herself
played drums and the tambourine. "It is not a matter of thinking much,"
she told her nuns, "but of loving much. So do whatever most kindles
love in you."
Her feast day is October 15.
