Sta Teresa de Jesus




Yesterday was the feast day of Our Holy Mother St. Teresa of Jesus. I missed mentioning anything about her on the day; a wedding and a funeral kept me away from this keyboard all day. (They weren't exactly at the ends of the earth, but considering Friday traffic patterns, it was the functional equivalent.)

Once again, the old Catholic Enclyclopaedia gives us one of the best summaries of her life on the web. It is by the learned and saintly friar, fr. Benedict Zimmerman, O.C.D. The Order's own page on our foundress' life can be found here.
