A Collect for Teresa of Avila Mystic and Monastic Reformer, 1582 O GOD, who by thy Holy Spirit moved Teresa of Avila to manifest to thy church the way of perfection: Grant us, we pray, to be nourished by her teachings, and enkindle within us a keen and unquenchable longing for true holiness; through Jesus Christ, the joy of loving hearts, who lives and reigns with thee and the Holy Spirit, One God, Forever and Ever, Indeed. AMEN
