Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Teresa of Los Andes 2/12/2024

As a young girl growing up in the early 1900’s in Santiago, Chile, Juana Fernandez read an autobiography of a French-born saint—Thérèse, popularly known as the Little Flower. The experience deepened her desire to serve God and clarified the path she would follow. She became a Carmelite nun, taking the name of Teresa.

  • Teresa was born in Ávila, Spain in 1515. ...

  • Saint Teresa suffered from poor health for most of her life, but that did not stop her from filling her every waking hour with productivity. ...

  • Teresa founded a total of over thirteen monasteries during her lifetime.

SAINT TERESA OF JESUS OF LOS ANDES is the first Chilean to be declared a Saint. She is the first Discalced Carmelite Nun to become a Saint outside the boundaries of Europe and the fourth Saint Teresa in Carmel together with Saints Teresa of Avila, of Florence and of Lisieux.
