St. Teresa of Avila is an authentic teacher of Christian life for the faithful in all times," he added.
"In our society, often lacking in spiritual values, St. Teresa teaches us to be tireless witnesses of God, of His presence and His work. She teaches us to really feel this thirst for God that exists in the depth of our hearts, this desire to see God, to seek God, to be in conversation with Him and to be his friends."
Pope Benedict prayed that her example would "encourage us to dedicate adequate time to daily prayer, to openness to God in order to discover His friendship and so to discover true life."
"Time spent in prayer is not lost," he concluded. It is “a time in which we open the way to life, learning to love God and His Church ardently, and to show real charity towards our brothers
