"It is love alone that gives worth to all things." (St. Teresa of Avila) St. Teresa of Avila, Mystic and Doctor of the Church was a Carmelite nun in the 16th-century who called for reform in her order when she realized that the Sisters were no longer living a life giving all to the Lord. Their hearts no longer burned brightly with a zeal for Christ as they failed to authentically live out the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
