Episode 32: Ft. Mark O'Keefe on Teresa of Ávila

Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582), also called St. Teresa of Jesus, was a Spanish noblewoman, Carmelite nun, and religious mystic. She is also one of only four women to be recognized as a “Doctor of the Church” by the Catholic Church. During her life, Teresa helped bring renewal to the Carmelite order for men and women. Eventually, this reform led to the formation of what is known today as Discalced Carmelites. To learn more about the life and renewal ministry of one of the Church’s greatest teachers, hear from Ft. Mark O’Keefe, Benedictine monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey and Professor of Moral Theology at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology.
