Slides: St Teresa of Avila — October 2020

Feast Day: Oct 15th

Thank you ladies for celebrating another wonderful meeting with us. This month we talked about St Teresa of Avila. I encourage you all to dive deeper into mental prayers, her books, and her life. She started a good catholic girl, turned into a rebellious nun, and changed our knowledge of prayer forever. She is my new #WCW.
The slides have resources to learn more about what we talked about today as well as links to e-books and audiobooks (free).

Until we see each other again, I wish you love, blessings, and health for you and all you hold dear.
