Avila Convent Heaven Instructions Interest Received Shares Teresa Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) is depicted in deep contemplation, her eyes closed in prayer as she receives divine inspiration. Surrounded by an ethereal glow, the Spanish mystic and reformer of the Carmelite Order is visited by the Virgin Mary, who shares with her the designs for Teresa's vision of a new convent. Teresa of Avila was a remarkable woman of faith and determination. Born in Avila, Spain, she experienced numerous spiritual visions and revelations throughout her life. In 1562, Teresa received a series of visions in which she was instructed to reform the Carmelite Order and establish new convents based on the original rules of the Order. The Virgin Mary, as the embodiment of purity and motherly love, was a fitting messenger for Teresa's divine instructions. The image of the Queen of Heaven sharing her architectural knowledge with Teresa highlights the spiritual connection between the two women and the divine plan for Teresa's reforms. Prince Charles, known for his passion for architecture, also shared an interest in the design of Teresa's convent. However, this image is not about the commercial use of the print or the involvement of the company, but rather the spiritual significance of the moment. The image captures the essence of Teresa's spiritual journey and her deep connection to the divine. It serves as a reminder of the power of faith and the role of divine inspiration in shaping the world around us. The image is a beautiful testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Teresa of Avila and her vision for a reformed Carmelite Order.
