Teresa was a woman of deep spirituality and complete detachment from the world, yet she never lost her charm or her fantastic sense of humor. She was always a loving mother to all her sisters and brothers. She was canonized in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV, and in 1970 she was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI-the first woman ever to be given hat great honor by the Church. Her feast day is October 15. St. Teresa's Bookmark Let nothing trouble you, let nothing frighten you.
Patience obtains all things.
