May God reward you for taking the time to make this video (and all your video’s)

I see from your YouTube video you got the movie “Teresa De Los Andes.” Wow! You are so blessed.

Do you have the book? " Letters of Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes" by: Fr. Micael D. Griffin, OCD

God bless,

No I really didnt know they had a book on her letters?
 
It is a most excellent book. Here is another quote from her letters, regarding the Carmelite vocation;

"How beautiful our vocation is, my dear sister! We are together with our Savior, redeemers of souls. We are hosts in which Jesus dwells, living, praying and suffering for a sinful world. Was not this the life of the Most Holy Virgin, the most perfect of all created beings? She carried the Word in silence. She prayed and suffered always. Wasn’t this life of prayer and sacrifice the one that Jesus lived for 30 years? He spent but three years in preaching. Isn’t this the life of Jesus in the Tabernacle? Oh, sister, it is undoubtable that we’ve chosen the better part, since a Carmelite deals with God alone. Ask Him to bring you very soon. Come then, and lose yourself in His divine arms. Come quickly, that Jesus may find another host to offer to His eternal Father for souls. May nothing make you waver. Look at Him. He’s awaiting you and is filled with infinite love and will make you His bride. He wants to forge with you the most intimate union. He will make you divine, by joining Himself to you. You will live in Jesus amid infinite sweetness, purity, holiness, goodness, amid the love of One who is God.

“How happy I feel when I can tell Him at the end of the day that I denied myself in everything.”

Saint Teresa of the Andes, age 18 (Letters, pg. 302)

Simply. Beautiful.

And just think she wasn’t just writing these letters to her family members she wrote these letters to all of us.

St. Teresa de Los Andes please Pray for all of us. Amen.
