  1. Website Links: Catholic Alphabetical Listing Patron Saints Born: Avila, Spain 1515-1582 Feastday: October 15Patron of Headache sufferers, Spanish Catholic Writers St. Teresa of Avila – Doctor of the Church At the age of 43, she became determined to found a new convent that went back to the basics of a contemplative order: a simple life of poverty devoted to prayer. At 51, she felt it was time to spread her reform movement. She braved burning sun, ice and snow, thieves, and rat-infested inns to found more convents. Magazine Title Women Saints: Models For Our Times "May God protect me from gloomy saints," Teresa said, and that's how she ran her convent. To her, spiritual life was an attitude of love, not a rule. The other religious orders opposed her wherever she went. She often had to enter a town secretly in the middle of the night to avoid causing a riot. She is the founder of the Discalced Carmelites. In 1970 she was declared a Doctor of the Church for her writing and teaching on prayer, one of two women to be honored in this way.
