Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Teresa of Spain Jesus which already exist, foremost among them the late Mrs. Cunninghame Graham's Santa Teresa, Her life and Times. If apology be needed for trespassing on a field already occupied, I can only urge that my point of view is perhaps a little different both from Mrs. Cunninghame Graham's, and also from that of the religious writers who have ad dressed themselves to the faithful of Saint Teresa's Church. I have aimed rather at the sympathetic of every creed; chiefly perhaps at the women who, daily reaching forth unto new Spiritual domains, are glad to claim solidarity with the great women who have gone before, and have gained them the land they already possess.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Teresa (1515-1582) T teresa was born in Avila, in the kingdom of Spain, March 28, 1515, and baptized in the Church of St. John Baptist, April 4th, Wednesday in Holy Week. On that day Mass was said for the first time in the Monastery of the Incarnation of the Order of Carmel, where she spent so many years of her life as one of the religious of that house. Her father, Don Alfonso Sanchez de Cepeda, of an old and honorable race, was twice married and twice widowed. His first Wife was dona-catalina del Peso y Henao, by whom he had three children, one girl and two boys. His second wife, Dona Beatriz Davila y Ahumada, was the mother of nine children, seven boys and two girls. The elder of the two daughters, and the third child of the marriage, was St. Teresa, known for many years of her life as Dona Teresa Sanchez Cepeda Davila y Ahumada. Don Alfonso was a man of solid piety, most charitable to the poor and the sick, very gentle and considerate with his servants. Dona Beatriz also took all pains to bring up her children in the fear and love of God, devout to our Lady and the saints, and thus laid the foundations of the Spiritual life of her daughter, who, before she was seven years old, would give alms out of the little money she had, and contrive to be alone that she might say her prayers, especially the Rosary. St. Teresa in playing with the other children would delight in imitating religious, and she tells us that she believed she wished to be a nun, but yet not so much as she wished to be a hermit or a martyr.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Saint Teresa, Vol. 3: A Complete Edition Translated From the Spanish and Annotated by the Benedictines of Stanbrook With an Introduction by Cardinal Gasquet Doubtless your Majesty is aware that the nuns of the Incarnation wished me to come to them, thinking that I might be able to deliver them from the Calced friars, who certainly offer a serious obstacle to the recollection and observance the community desire - the lack of which was entirely owing to the Mitigated fathers. The sisters are mistaken in thinking that I could help them, for while the Calced hear their confessions and make their visitations, my presence there could do no permanent good, as I always say to the Dominican Visitor, who knows it is true.

Download or read book The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself written by Teresa Of Avila and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 1988-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the Castilian town of Avila in 1515, Teresa entered the Carmelite convent of the Incarnation when she was twenty-one. Tormented by illness, doubts and self-recrimination, she gradually came to recognize the power of prayer and contemplation—her spiritual enlightenment was intensified by many visions and mystical experiences, including the piercing of her heart by a spear of divine love. She went on to found seventeen Carmelite monasteries throughout Spain. Teresa always denied her own saintliness, however, saying in a letter: "There is no suggestion of that nonsense about my supposed sanctity." This frank account is one of the great stories of a religious life and a literary masterpiece—after Don Quixote, it is Spain's most widely read prose classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Teresa (1515-1582) And Her First English Daughters In 1474, Ferdinand, Prince of Aragon, married Isabella, Queen of Castile and Leon - Shakespeare's "Queen of earthly queens," Bacon's "Corner stone of the greatness of Spain," Aubrey de Vere's "great and holy creature, sweet and brave, type of faithfulness in word and deed, flower of all perfections known on earth." In truth, she came as near, perhaps, as could an earthly king or queen to the ideal sovereign; and - at least in his early manhood - Ferdinand was not unworthy to reign at her side. Five years after their marriage he succeeded to his father's crown, and the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon were again united. Then began the golden age of Spain: the insolence and rapacity of the grandees yielded to the sweetness and strength of Isabella; the peasants could raise their heads as well as their hearts and hands; and, as the Sovereigns passed from one tribunal to another, to preside over each in the old Castilian style, justice and peace followed in their train. The whole face of the country was changed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus: Of the Order of Our Lady of Carmel When the publisher entrusted me with the task of editing this volume, one Sheet was already printed and a considerable portion of the book was in type. Under his agreement with the owners of the copyright, he was bound to reproduce the text and notes, etc., originally prepared by Mr. David Lewis without any change, so that my duty was confined to reading the proofs and verifying the quotations. This translation of the Life of St. Teresa is 50 ex cellent, that it could hardly be improved. While faithfully adhering to her wording, the translator has been successful in rendering the lofty teaching in Simple and clear language, an achievement all the more remarkable as in addition to the difficulty arising from the transcendental nature of the subject matter, the involved style, and the total absence of punctuation tend to perplex the reader. N ow and then there might be some difference of Opinion as to how St. Teresa's phrases should be construed, but it is not too much to say that on the whole Mr. Lewis has been more successful than any other translator, whether English or foreign. Only in one case have I found it necessary to make some Slight alteration in the text, and I trust the owners of the Copyright will forgive me for doing so. In Chapter XXV., 4, St. Teresa, Speaking of the difference between the Divine and the imaginary locutions, says that a person com mending a matter to God with great earnestness, may think that he hears whether his prayer will be granted or not y es muy posible, and this is quite possible, but he who has ever heard a Divine locution will see at once that this assurance is something quite different. Mr. Lewis, following the old Spanish editions, trans lated: And it is most impossible, whereas both the autograph and the context demand the wording I have ventured to substitute. When Mr. Lewis undertook the translation of St. Teresa's works. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Teresa a Novel Sunday, it was Easter Day, very early in the morning; the wonder of dawn was hardly gone from the Skies, and nothing stirred the unearthly hush but the cheeping of birds in the ivy, and the liquid chimes from the great Cathedral, ceaselessly intoning. The bells called the faithful to worship and sinners to repentance, and the pose of the woman at the window, Where the room's dimness lightened to the new day, seemed wonderfully attuned to the solemn cadences. She was kneeling; her figure, maidenly and slim, was clothed in a straight white robe; and her pure gaze, turned upward, celestially lost itself in the auroral dome. The whole look of the colorless young face was rapt and ascetical. The hands met in the changeless attitude of the devout; the slender fingers moved, and it was as if She told her beads; the lips moved and surely she Spoke her heavenly passion. In the instant, to the airs of that holy music, this woman might have been the virgin of tradition, Saint Teresa at her orisons. She looked the true figure of the Nun of the ages, classical and pale.

Teresa. IT was the little girl who made me do it, pleaded Rodrigo de Cepeda, and although he did not know it, the excuse was as old as the world. The little girl in question was Rodrigo's seven-year-old Sister Teresa, who had been seized with a burning desire for martyrdom. She wanted to see God, she passionately assured her brother, and as it was necessary to die first, martyrdom was obviously the only means to her end. Rodrigo himself had not seen the matter quite in the same light, but as Teresa was his own particular friend and playmate, and they had always done everything together, he had considered himself bound to enter into her views.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Santa Teresa: Being Some Account of Her Life and Times; Together With Some Pages From the History of the Last Great Reform in the Religious Orders I do not know if here in England there are those who sign their letters, your Teresian friend, as I averred there were in Spain, when I sat down to write my preface to the first edition, thirteen years ago. But, if there be such, it seems to me the author of the book has done her part in the continuation of the pious memory, by setting forth the saint, Her Life and Miracles, as people say in Spain of saints, in her own way. Thirteen years ago and now, sitting alone to write, with the mild thaw wind after a long frost, singing amongst the naked trees, just as if some one had hung up an Eolian harp amongst the branches, but yet more sadly, for the [eolian harp I hear is in the mind, my point of View about the book is still the same as it was yesterday; for thirteen years is yesterday, although it seems a century, at least, in looking backwards; that is to say, when you look backwards without faith.
