Avila Begs Jesus Kindly Purgatory Release Soul Teresa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the deep devotion and intercessory role of Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) as she implores Jesus to grant mercy and release a soul from Purgatory. Saint Teresa, a Spanish mystic and reformer of the Carmelite Order, is depicted in the print with her eyes closed in fervent prayer, her hands raised in supplication, and her heart open in love and compassion. The scene takes place in an otherworldly realm, with Jesus appearing before her in a vision, his divine countenance radiating warmth and compassion. The soul in Purgatory, represented by a figure shrouded in darkness and surrounded by flames, looks up in hope as Jesus extends his hand to free it. The scene conveys the spiritual power of Saint Teresa's intercession, as well as the mercy and compassion of Jesus in granting the soul's release. Saint Teresa of Avila is known for her writings on the interior life, including her autobiography, "The Life of Teresa of Jesus," and her classic work on prayer, "The Interior Castle." Her deep spiritual experiences and profound understanding of the human soul continue to inspire and guide believers today. This moving image serves as a powerful reminder of the intercessory role of saints and the mercy and compassion of Jesus.
