Peter of Alcantara
In St. Teresa of Ávila, Peter perceived a soul chosen of God for a great work, and her success in the reform of Carmel (see Carmelites) was in great measure due to his counsel, encouragement and defense. It was a letter from Peter (dated April 14, 1562) that encouraged her to found her first monastery at Avila, August 24 of that year. St. Teresa's autobiography is the source of much of our information regarding Peter's life, work, the gift of miracles and prophecy. According to St. Teresa of Ávila, it was a very common thing for him to take food only once in three days, and that sometimes he would go a week without eating.
