“Teresa: The Seven Mansions”
Teresa is a person wrapped not so much in
silence as in mystery.
Beautiful, talented, outgoing, adaptable,
affectionate, courageous, enthusiastic, she was
totally human.
Like Jesus, she was a mystery of paradoxes: wise
yet practical; intelligent, yet much in tune with
her experience; a mystic, yet an energetic
reformer.
