St Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) The first woman to be called a "Doctor of the Church." Mystic, author, reformer of the church, contemplative and founder of the Order of Discalced Carmelites.

    Luke 9:13

 

You 

give 

them 

some-

thing 

to eat.

Let nothing disturb thee,

Nothing affright thee

All things are passing;

God never changeth;

Patient endurance

Attaineth to all things;

Who God possesseth

In nothing is wanting;

Alone God sufficeth. 

Teresa of Avila 

Pray for a deepening 

of our prayer lives, for contemplative orders within the church. Pray too for those who cannot or will not pray.
