St.Teresa of Avila
d. b. 1515 d. 1582
Feastday October 15
Less than twenty years before Teresa was born in 1515, Columbus opened up the Western Hemisphere to European colonization. Two years after she was born, Luther started the Protestant Reformation. Out of all of this change came Teresa pointing the way from outer turmoil to inner peace.
St.Francis of Assisi
d. b.1181 d.1226
Feastday October 4
Founder of the Franciscan Order, born at Assisi in Umbria, in 1181. In 1182, Pietro Bernadone returned from a trip to France to find out his wife had given birth to a son. Far from being excited or apologetic because he'd been gone, Pietro was furious because she'd had his new son baptized Giovanni after John the Baptist.
St. Theresa of Lisieux
Feastday October 1
Generations of Catholics have admired this young saint, called her the "Little Flower", and found in her short life more inspiration for own lives than in volumes by theologians. Yet Therese died when she was 24, after having lived as cloistered Carmelite for less than ten years.
