Welcome to Litsy!

Another book I‘ve been meaning to get to for a long time, this is the first biography of a saint that I‘ve read. I found Teresa of Avila‘s life and work to be much more integrated with the material world around her than I expected. A very interesting snapshot of medieval Spanish culture, too.🔸#aprilreads2021

"The freedom that the soul could discover in prayer was the secret of her reform."

"There is nothing like an undiluted view of divinity to make a person feel small."
