Carmelite Quotes @[email protected] · 2026-09-10 · 17:01 UTC

Quote of the day, 11 September: St. Teresa of Avila

Treats of some of the things that have taken place to the honor and glory of God, in this monastery of St. Joseph’s in Toledo.

It has occurred to me to say something about what some of the nuns put into practice in the service of the Lord so that those who follow may strive to imitate the good things that were done in the beginning.

It happened that while I was here a fatal illness struck one of the Sisters. After receiving the sacraments and being anointed, her happiness and joy were so great that, as though she were going to another country, we were able to talk to her about how she should recommend us to God when in heaven and to the saints to whom we were devoted.

A little before she died, I went to her room to be with her, for I had just gone before the Blessed Sacrament to beg the Lord to give her a good death. And when I entered I saw His Majesty at the head of the bed. His arms were partly opened as though He was protecting her, and He told me that I could be certain He would protect all the nuns that die in these monasteries and that they should not fear temptation at the hour of death. I was left very consoled and recollected. After a little while I began to speak to her, and she said to me: “O Mother, what great things I am going to see.” Thus she died, like an angel.

And I have noticed that some who have died since this occurred have done so with quiet and calm as though they were in rapture or in the prayer of quiet, without showing the least sign of any temptation. Thus I hope in the goodness of God that He will be merciful to us at the moment of death through the merits of His Son and those of His glorious Mother whose habit we wear. Therefore, my daughters, let us strive to be true Carmelites, for soon the day’s journey will end.

Saint Teresa of Avila

The Foundations, ch. 16

Note: The nun who died like an angel was Sister Petronila of St. Andrew, who died in 1576—the year before Blessed Mary of Jesus López de Rivas received the habit in the Carmel of Toledo.
