Saint Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, baptized as Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada, (March 28, 1515, at Gotarrendura (Ávila), Old Castile, Spain – October 4, 1582, at Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, Spain) was a prominent Spanish mystic, Carmelite nun, and writer of the Counter Reformation. She was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered to be, along with John of the Cross, a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. In 1970 she was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI.

Excellent Podcast
I found St Teresa through The Book of Prayer app. This is the second podcast I’ve listened to of St Teresa. The first was her suggestions for prayer. I really appreciate the woman who reads. Her voice is quite believe-able and I sense she connects with St Teresa. It is surprising many of the struggles Teresa endured in the 16th century remain today. She speaks with such sweetness and honesty. I’ve thought about picking up this book for every young Christian lady I know! It’s a gem.

Did not care for narrator voice nor flow of words
