According to her autobiography, Teresa lost her mother at age 14, but never strayed from her devotion to God. Becoming a nun, she became widely known for her writing as well as her altruism and her founding of several convents and monasteries. Her ability to withstand several physical and emotional pains led to her title, 'Doctor of the Church', in 1970.
