I found her at the beginning of the summer at camp, and tried to read her auto-biography.
It being camp, I never got around to it.
But I'm glad her stories coming back into my life.
When she was a little girl, she wanted to be near God, she contemplated Martyrdom, she was a kid, and she just wanted to be with God!!
Her mom also died when she was young, and she threw herself at the feet of the Blessed Virgin Mary and asked Her to be her Mother.
Super cool.
She died in 1582, she was 67 years old. She died somewhere in October, either late October 4th, or early October 15th. Her final words are super beautiful...
"My Lord, it is time to move on. Well then, may your will be done. O my Lord and my Spouse, the hour that I have longed for has come. It is time to meet one another."
~St. Teresa of Avila
Great right?! I really need to read more on her, because I think she will help me a lot with my discernment.
Well, point of this..
St. Teresa of Avila = Super Awesome
Tenth Avenue North= Super Awesome as well.. Here is their song Empty My Hands. Godspeed <3
