There’s a lot of anxiety out there and I’m feeling it.

This has been one of the few pieces of writing that calms me down 100% of the time.

I didn’t choose Avila’s name because I liked the sound of it (although I think it’s a beautiful name). I picked it because of my close devotion to Saint Teresa of Avila.

Today is the beginning of a new habit of me carrying her prayer card in my pocket at work to remind me of God’s Providence and Love.

Saint Teresa of Avila pray for us!
