one more for Teresa (and by her)

Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) talks to God after her leg is broken when a cart overturns:

if this is how
You treat Your friends
no wonder You have
so few

Teresa was canonized in 1622. Her feast day is October 15.

praise

praised by a novice,
she asks, "What do you think
I am – a saint?"

Attributed to Teresa of Avila. Today (October 15) is her feast day.
