Summary "The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus, of the Order of Our Lady of Carmel" by Teresa is an autobiographical account composed in the 16th century. As one of the prominent figures of the Catholic Reformation, Teresa recounts her spiritual journey and experiences, detailing her struggles, divine revelations, and the founding of the Carmelite Order based on strict observance and deep prayer. The opening portion introduces readers to Teresa's early life, marking her departure from worldly wishes to embrace a religious vocation. It highlights her challenges with her father’s opposition to her becoming a nun, her initial reluctance, and the spiritual awakenings that began to shape her life. Through the narrative of her upbringing and early influences, the stage is set for the profound spiritual developments that will follow, as she begins to understand the significance of prayer and the call of God in her life. The introduction of characters that influence her path adds depth to her story, providing insight into the personal and communal struggles that accompany her divine mission.
