St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross


St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942), Carmelite nun, martyr, Feast Day August 9th

"O my God, fill my soul with holy joy, courage and strength to serve You. Enkindle Your love in me and then walk with me along the next stretch of road before me. I do not see very far ahead, but when I have arrived where the horizon now closes down, a new prospect will open before me, and I shall meet it with peace.

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross as a novice.


“It always seemed to me that our Lord was keeping something for me in Carmel that I could find only there.”
