St. Teresa of Jesus (Teresa of Avila) (1515-1582): Born in Avila, Spain. Foundress of the reformed (Discalced) Carmelites. St. Teresa reached the heights of spiritual perfection and was granted mystical revelations. She wrote books on the spiritual life, for which she was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1970. Prayer on the back: Nada te turbe, nada te espante, todo se pasa, Dios no se muda, la paciencia todo lo alcanza, quien a Dios tiene nada le falta solo Dios basta. Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. - St. Teresa of Avila (Painting from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Kenosha, Wisconsin, U.S.A.)
