Teresa of Jesus of the Andes – A Life of Holiness and Joy
Teresa of Jesus of the Andes tells the inspiring story of Chile’s first saint, canonized in 1993 by Pope St. John Paul II. At just eighteen, she entered the Discalced Carmelites of Santiago, embracing a life of deep faith and devotion before passing away only eleven months later. Despite her short life, her joyful spirit, love for God, and vibrant personality continue to inspire young people today.
This volume, originally published in 1989, includes a biography by Father Michael Griffin, O.C.D., along with his translation of St. Teresa’s personal diary. Her diary offers a rare glimpse into the heart of a young woman passionately pursuing holiness and an intimate relationship with God. Also included are a chronology of her life and two homilies by Pope St. John Paul II from her beatification and canonization.
A must-read for those drawn to Carmelite spirituality, youth seeking inspiration, or anyone longing for a deeper faith, this book beautifully captures the legacy of a young saint who lived with joy, love, and unwavering trust in God.
