Duruelo is a village inside the Spanish province of Soria. Its church and medieval necropolis stand out as one of the main atractions of the area.

The church of the Archangel St Michael is the result of the union of several modifications and different styles, such as the Gothic image of the Christ of Wonders (14th to 15th centuries) or the 16th century vault.

The medieval necropolis, dated back to 11th-13th centuries, was discovered in the 20th century after making some modifications inside the church.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT TERESA OF ÁVILA The First Female Doctor of the Church Feast Day: October 15

"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; for God alone suffices."

A Carmelite nun, the prominent mystic, religious reformer, author, theologian of the comtemplative life and of mental prayer, and the founder of the Discalced Carmelites, was born Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada, on March 28, 1515 in Ávila (modern-day Spain). Her paternal grandfather, Juan Sánchez de Toledo, was a marrano or converso, a Jew forced to convert to Christianity or emigrate.

When Teresa's father was a child, Juan was condemned by the Spanish Inquisition for allegedly returning to the Jewish faith, but he was later able to assume a Catholic identity. Alonso Sánchez de Cepeda, Teresa's father, was a successful wool merchant and one of the wealthiest men in Ávila. He bought a knighthood and assimilated successfully into Christian society. Alonso previously married to Catalina, with whom he had three children, and in 1509 in Gotarrendura, he married in to a woman named Beatriz de Ahumada y Cuevas.

She brought her up as a dedicated Christian. Fascinated by accounts of the lives of the saints, she ran away from home at age seven, with her brother Rodrigo, to seek martyrdom in the fight against the Moors. Her uncle brought them home, when he spotted them just outside the town walls. From an early age, she was much impressed by the thought of eternity, and developed a strong desire to consecrate her life to the Lord.

When her mother died, Teresa (now 11 years old) went before the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and implored with tears: 'From now on, you shall be my mother.'

At 20, much to the disappointment of her pious and austere father, she decided to enter the local easy-going Carmelite convent of the Incarnation, significantly built on top of land that had been used previously as a burial ground for Jews, but was scandalized by the relaxation of religious life. Visitors of all kinds were freely received, personal prayer, and meditation were neglected, and many members were idle and carefree. Nevertheless, she preserved in her vocation.

Notwithstanding the resistance of many ecclesiastics, in 1562, she founded at Ávila the Discalced Carmelites, whose members were committed to strict discipline and almost perpetual silence. They wore sandals instead of shoes as a sign of austerity and poverty. Six years later, together with John of the Cross, Teresa founded the Discalced Carmelite Friars in Duruelo. Intelligence was considered an essential requisite for the reformed nuns.

As Teresa said: 'A person can train herself to piety, but more hardly to intelligence. An Intelligent mind is simple and submissive.'

Teresa enjoyed mystical revelations, and wrote many books filled with sublime doctrine. Teresa died in Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, on October 4, 1582, just as Catholic Europe was making the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. She was 67.

Her last words were: 'My Lord, it is time to move on. Well then, may your will be done. O my Lord and my Spouse, the hour that I have longed for has come. It is time to meet one another.'

Beatified by Pope Paul V on April 24, 1614 and canonized a saint by Pope Gregory XV on March 12, 1622, her major shrine can be found at the Convent of the Annunciation in Alba de Tormes.

The Cortes Generales exalted her to patroness of Spain in 1627. The University of Salamanca had granted her the title 'Doctor ecclesiae' (Doctor of the Church) with a diploma in her lifetime, but that title is distinct from the papal honour of Doctor of the Church, which is always conferred posthumously. The latter was finally bestowed upon her by Pope Paul VI on September 27, 1970, along with Catherine of Siena, making them the first women to be awarded the distinction.

Villa de Leyva

and on to Villa de Leyva for the wedding... but first some sight seeing, starting with a quad bike ride around the coloured lakes at Pozos Azules

followed by a walk round town, taking in lunch and the Plaza Mayor. Villa de Leyva is a Columbian National Heritage Town that has retained much of its colonial architecture and feel. Ended the day with a pre-wedding dinner with Santi's family on the balcony at Hospederia Duruelo

I don't believe in white brides because you can only wear a white suit one day.⠀ ⠀ Our grandmothers used the black wedding dress to go to mass on Sundays and to go to other celebrations such as town festivals etc.⠀ ⠀ Chanel's mythical black fourreau is the object for women to that simplicity 💕⠀ ⠀ I notice that after 13 years the features of my face have become more angular.

Duruelo, cuna de los carmelitas descalzos. Concordancias y discrepancias con santa Teresa

28 noviembre: inicio de la rama masculina de la Orden en Duruelo

Daniel de Pablo Maroto, ocd   “La Santa” (Ávila) El día 28 de noviembre de 1568 un reducido grupo de frailes carmelitas, entre ellos fray Juan de Santo Matía (san Juan de la Cruz) iniciaron en el “lugarcillo” de Duruelo, como dice santa Teresa, una aventura espiritual que todavía perdura en los carmelitas descalzos. Era un lugar inhóspito, perdido en la ancha y profunda estepa castellana, que…

Saint of the Day – 15 October – St Teresa of Avila/of Jesus (1515-1582) Doctor of the Church

Excerpt of Pope Benedict’s Catechesis on the Doctors of the Church Wednesday, 2 February 2011

St Teresa, whose name was Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, was born in Avila, Spain, in 1515.   In her autobiography she mentions some details of her childhood – she was born into a large family, her “father and mother, who were devout and feared God”.   She had three sisters and nine brothers.

While she was still a child and not yet nine years old she had the opportunity to read the lives of several Martyrs which inspired in her such a longing for martyrdom that she briefly ran away from home in order to die a Martyr’s death and to go to Heaven (cf. Vida, [Life], 1, 4) – “I want to see God”, the little girl told her parents.

A few years later Teresa was to speak of her childhood reading and to state that she had discovered in it the way of truth which she sums up in two fundamental principles.   On the one hand was the fact that “all things of this world will pass away” while on the other God alone is “forever, ever, ever”, a topic that recurs in her best known poem: “Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, all things are passing away: God never changes.   Patience obtains all things.   Whoever has God lacks nothing, God alone suffices”.   She was about 12 years old when her mother died and she implored the Virgin Most Holy to be her mother (cf. Vida, I, 7).

When she was 20 she entered the Carmelite Monastery of the Incarnation, also in Avila. In her religious life she took the name “Teresa of Jesus”.   Three years later she fell seriously ill, so ill that she remained in a coma for four days, looking as if she were dead (cf. Vida, 5, 9).   In the fight against her own illnesses too, the Saint saw the combat against weaknesses and the resistance to God’s call:  “I wished to live”, she wrote, “but I saw clearly that I was not living but rather wrestling with the shadow of death, there was no one to give me life and I was not able to take it.   He who could have given it to me had good reasons for not coming to my aid, seeing that He had brought me back to Himself so many times and I as often had left Him” (Vida, 7, 8).

In 1543 she lost the closeness of her relatives, her father died and all her siblings, one after another, emigrated to America.   In Lent 1554, when she was 39 years old, Teresa reached the climax of her struggle against her own weaknesses.   The fortuitous discovery of the statue of “a Christ most grievously wounded”, left a deep mark on her life (cf. Vida, 9).   The Saint, who in that period felt deeply in tune with the St Augustine of the Confessions, thus describes the decisive day of her mystical experience:  “and… a feeling of the presence of God would come over me unexpectedly, so that I could in no wise doubt either that He was within me, or that I was wholly absorbed in Him” (Vida, 10, 1).

Parallel to her inner development, the Saint began in practice to realise her ideal of the reform of the Carmelite Order – in 1562 she founded the first reformed Carmel in Avila, with the support of the city’s Bishop, Don Alvaro de Mendoza and shortly afterwards also received the approval of John Baptist Rossi, the Order’s Superior General.   In the years that followed, she continued her foundations of new Carmelite convents, 17 in all.   Her meeting with St John of the Cross was fundamental.   With him, in 1568, she set up the first convent of Discalced Carmelites in Duruelo, not far from Avila.   In 1580 she obtained from Rome the authorisation for her reformed Carmels as a separate, autonomous Province.   This was the starting point for the Discalced Carmelite Order.

Indeed, Teresa’s earthly life ended while she was in the middle of her founding activities. She died on the night of 15 October 1582 in Alba de Tormes, after setting up the Carmelite Convent in Burgos, while on her way back to Avila.   Her last humble words were: “After all I die as a child of the Church” and “O my Lord and my Spouse, the hour that I have longed for has come. It is time to meet one another”.

Teresa spent her entire life for the whole Church although she spent it in Spain.   She was beatified by Pope Paul V in 1614 and Canonised by Pope Gregory XV in 1622  . The Servant of God (now Canonised yesterday, 14 October 2018) Paul VI proclaimed her a “Doctor of the Church” in 1970.
