St. Teresa of Avila lived in Spain during the Counter-Reformation. She was a mystic, reformer of the Carmelite Order and the author of several books which are an integral part of Spanish Renaissance literature as well as to Christian contemplative theory and practice. She was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI on September 27, 1970. Teresa is revered as the Doctor of Prayer. We will explore her life with the help of film clips and a movie based on her life.
