A Carmelite Memoir Of Wisdom

Message from Saint Teresa Of Ávila To The Little Apostle on 04/27/25

ST. TERESA OF ÁVILA:

Dear children of God,

Dear ones, when I lived on earth in my homeland of Ávila, Spain, I had many responsibilities to fulfill. Though I was not married, I too had duties. I was called by God to follow His will and dedicate my life to His service as a nun and faithful daughter of His Church. In the intimacy of prayer and while living among my sisters in the convent, the Lord poured out abundant spiritual favors upon me.

These graces strengthened me to answer His call to reform the Carmelite Order and to share the wisdom He wished to give His Church. I was appointed abbess and worked tirelessly to carry out the Lord’s desires. Guided by His divine will, I strove to live and teach according to His holy purposes.

In the same way, you too can assist our Good Lord. I encourage you to remain attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and to help the Church, which is in dire need of Our Lord and Heaven’s assistance during these difficult times.

At the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, I, Teresa of Ávila, impart to you His abundant blessing: May His grace strengthen your faith, His peace calm your hearts, and His love guide your every step.
