Saint Teresa of Avila (1515 – 1582) was a Carmelite nun, prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, and theologian of the contemplative life and mental prayer, who earned the rare distinction of being declared a “Doctor of the Church” over four centuries after her death. She was canonized in 1622.
