My favorite image of Teresa of Avila, la peregrina
found in front of her convent
The walls of Avila, España
In your hand
I place my
heart,
Body, life
and soul,
Deep feelings
and affections mine,
Spouse--Redeemer
sweet,
Myself
offered now to you,
What do you
want of me?
[from
the poem "In the Hands of God" by Teresa of Avila]
Monasterio de la Encarnación, Avila
Teresa's convent, right outside the Walls
Teresa of Avila
Teresa is one of my very favorites. Despite several visits to Spain, I have yet to visit Avila! May God will it one day.
