St. Teresa of Avila led an incredible life that some would say was as amazing as her mystical encounters with God. In the first part of this two-part series, we look at the life of St. Teresa of Avila, her setbacks and amazing accomplishments during the Spanish Inquisition, and the family secret that if it had ever been discovered, might have ended her calling in the Church.

In the next episode of the podcast, we will delve into St. Teresa's mystical experiences and divine encounters.

Dr. Carlos Eire has written a wonderful book on the life of St. Teresa of Avila: The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila: A Biography. You can get a copy of the it HERE.
