St. Teresa of Avila led me home to the Catholic Church. I stumbled upon St. Teresa’s book, The Interior Castle, and began to feel a tug deep within me. I longed to discover the Church she loved and the faith that had given birth to such a deep spirituality and holiness. It was an unlikely journey for me, as I am both a pastor’s daughter and former wife of a pastor. The Catholic Church was the last place I envisioned for myself. Our Lord and St. Teresa thought otherwise . . . thanks be to God!
