Pray with St. Teresa of Ávila

These prayer cards make it easy to keep the wisdom and intercession of St. Teresa close at hand. Small and portable, they can be carried in a wallet, purse, prayer book, or Bible, serving as a reminder throughout the day to turn toward Christ in prayer. 

Each prayer card features this sacred image on the front and a prayer written by Fr. Josh Johnson on the back, making them a meaningful companion for daily prayer or a thoughtful gift to share with others.

In this original painting by sacred artist Tianna Williams, St. Teresa is clothed in her Carmelite habit, a sign of her vocation as a nun and the foundress of the Discalced Carmelites. In her hands she holds a pen and a book, representing the writings through which she shared the fruits of her profound life of prayer. Her outward gaze reflects the silent contemplation that defined her relationship with God. Rather than looking inward, her attention is fixed on the One she loves.

Behind her stands a crystal castle, a symbol drawn from her spiritual classic The Interior Castle. In this beloved work, St. Teresa describes the soul as a castle with many rooms that lead us closer to God, guiding us toward deeper intimacy with him through prayer.

Whether used for personal devotion or shared with friends, family, or parish communities, these prayer cards offer a simple way to foster devotion to this beloved Doctor of the Church.
