Summary/Abstract: Celebration of the 5th centenary of the birth of St. Teresa of Jesus, the first woman pronounced by the Church the Doctor of the Church, is an occasion for recalling her person and her message. A mystic, a spiritual master, a foundress and author of great doctrinal works is above all the teacher of prayer understood as the relation of friendship. The Carmel’s reform she had started had its source in the experience of God, with the new look at a human person, which followed. St. Teresa of Jesus remains as a faithful and timely witness of truth about God and human person.
