The Life of St. Teresa of Ávila, Written by Herself
by Teresa of Ávila
The autobiography of Teresa of Ávila, a Spanish Carmelite nun, mystic, and reformer of the Counter-Reformation, written between 1562 and 1565 and published after her death. It is a foundational text of Christian mysticism, alongside her later Interior Castle and Way of Perfection.
The changed life
Born into a wealthy Ávila family, Teresa entered the Carmelite Convent of the Incarnation in 1535 and at first lived a comfortable, lax religious life. She underwent a deepening conversion to intense interior prayer and went on to found the reformed Discalced Carmelites.
