According
among th? Monks and Nuns of the Order announced in last week’s MESSEN- !
chat during her lifetime thirty-two mon- |
asterles were founded, seventeen for the I
Nunsand fifteen for the friars, ffhe
motto of St. Teresa'a life was'‘to suffer
or to die.” In the establishment of her
various convents she encountered many
difhc ill ties and opposition from good
people; indeed, it is a remarkable fact
these occasioned her both contempt and
confusion to an astonishing degree. Her
last words were an act of fervent thanks-
giving that she bad the happiness to die
a ‘Child of the Ilily Roman Cathoiic
Church? Her pure, blessed soul winged
its flight to Heaven under the form of a
radiant snowy dove, and at the same
moment a brilliant star was seen above
the belfry of the convent.
After she expired her face became sur-
passingly beautiful and lost all traces of
age and suffering, her holy body exhaled
a Heavenly fragrance and remains incor-
rupt until this day. The apparitions of St.
Teresahave bei-n more frequent than those
of any other Saint. Within her breast there
beat a noble and generous heart, which
was transpierced by an angel, and may
be seen to-day at Albi de Tormes in a
reliquary.^ Since 15*35, thorns have been
springing from, this seraphic heart, the
history of which is a climax of wonders.
Truly God is wonderful in His Saints a?
holy David sang, and in few others has
His greatness shone i Teresa of
Jesus.—Morning Star and Catholic Mes-
senger.

much towards its erection. Before

bestowed his episcopal blessing on

ended an event, that will long
