October 15 is the feast day of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582). She was a Carmelite nun, reformer and founder of convents and monasteries, author of classic spiritual works and in 1970, was the first woman granted the title of "Doctor of the Church". A quote attributed to St. Teresa...
"From silly devotions
and from sour-faced saints,
good Lord, deliver us."
