Beyond the Bulletin

How much do you know about St. Teresa of Ávila? The first woman to ever be named a Doctor of the Church, she lived a life that was both extraordinary and exceptionally ordinary at the same time. She had incredible spiritual visions, but also struggled with low self-esteem. She created a new religious order, but she also enjoyed talking about boys and clothes more than talking about Jesus while growing up.

She is an incredible saint to learn about, so join Michael Gormley as he dives into the life of St. Teresa, as well as expands on what she taught us about the necessity of mental prayer, and how we can apply it to our own lives.
