Teresa of Avila, also known as Teresa of Jesus, was born into a wealthy family in 1515. She loved Jesus very much and when she received the Holy Eucharist she could feel his great love. Teresa grew up and became a Carmelite nun but felt that they needed more time for quiet and prayer, so she started a new Carmelite convent. They prayed for the Church, for sinners, and for people who did not love God.
