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.
