A HEART SET ABLAZE FOR GOD
On October 15, the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Teresa of Avila, Virgin, Mystic, Reformer, and Doctor of the Church. She was a courageous woman who, through her writings and example, continues to lead countless souls into deeper friendship with God. Known for her reform of the Carmelite Order and her profound experiences of prayer, she reminds us that holiness does not consist in extraordinary deeds but in allowing God to transform the soul through love, humility, and perseverance. Her words “Let nothing disturb you; God alone suffices” remain an enduring message of trust in divine providence.
As we honor her today, we are invited not only to admire her life but to imitate her desire for intimacy with Christ. May her example inspire us to renew our spiritual life, deepen our commitment to prayer, and serve the Church with courage and joy.
