Santa Teresa de Ávila fue una mujer compleja y polifacética.
En muchos aspectos adelantada a su época, carismática y poderosa en un mundo de hombres, su personalidad reúne múltiples facetas que podrían parecer contradictorias. La recordamos sobre todo como mística y poeta excelsa, fundadora de la Orden de las Carmelitas Descalzas, pero fueron muchos más los papeles que eligió desempeñar. Tras un largo camino de ascesis, estos múltiples roles se integran y jerarquizan cuando conoce el verdadero sirvienta, el instrumento guiado al servicio de la misión que Él le encomienda
Saint Teresa of Avila had a complex and charismatic personality. In a world ruled by men, she managed to achieve power. She is best remembered as a sublime poet and amystic, the founder of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites, but the roles she chose to play were many more. In fact, they were so many and varied that they may seem contradictory. After a long ascetic path, these roles integrated harmoniously when she at last surrendered her whole being to God and became His servant, His beloved instrument to fulfil a mission in His name.
