Venerable Maria Teresita Gonzalez Quevedo DIGITAL DOWNLOAD Custom Colorized Digital Photo Painting PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL COPY OF THE PHOTO AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT UPON PURCHASE AND IT IS NOT A PAPER PRINT PHOTO THAT IS RECEIVED WILL NOT HAVE ANY WATERMARKS ON IT Teresita was born April 14, 1930, the third child of the prominent Doctor Calixto Quevedo, a physician, and his wife. She was born in Madrid, only a year before the fall of the Spanish monarchy. Teresita's mother described her children in a letter to her sister-in-law when her youngest was three: "Louis has the manner of an army general, Conchita is quiet and thoughtful... Teresita is a bundle of happiness. Everyone loves her.., pretty as a picture, but terribly self-willed. Perhaps we have indulged her more than we should because she is the youngest. Whatever the reason, she cannot be crossed. We shall have to do something about it." "No me gusta!" - I don't like it! - was Teresita's frequent comment at table. Her finicky appetite often led to such outbursts of rudeness. Later, she said, "After such disagreeable outbursts--there were a number of them before I received my First Holy Communion Tia (Teresita's aunt) would watch for the first sign of sorrow on my face. I never apologized, I am ashamed to say. What patience and kindness she possessed! Not a word about my bad behavior to me, nor to Mama and Papa. She taught me many lessons in that way - patience and repentance. Without a word, she forced me to grow truly ashamed of myself." The happy but headstrong little girl apparently took the matter of her self-control upon herself. After her First Communion, her father noticed quite a change in Teresita. He wrote to his brother, "The extraordinary power she had acquired over her quick, impulsive nature touched me deeply." Later, as we learn from her confessor and her notes, she found another aid to self-control; this was her love for Mary. Every time Teresita triumphed over her revulsion for certain foods, or managed to put away her own will, she silently counted the incident as a little gift for Mary. During much of the time of the Civil War in Spain, the Quevedo family lived away from their apartment in Madrid. During one of their stays in a fishing town, the cook noticed cakes and breads disappearing from the larder. Teresita's sister later confessed that Teresita had "snitched" them to take to the children of the fishermen. Even the plainest of fare from the wealthy Quevedo household was a rare treat for these children. After the war, the family moved back to Madrid, where the girls attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Academy. Teresita worked hard and made relatively good grades, but she also got into her share of schoolgirl mischief. At a designated period each day, the students were all supposed to be working in absolute silence on handwork. On one occasion, Teresita was embroidering a large tablecloth and enjoying a forbidden conversation with her cousin Angelines. Suddenly the two magpies heard the measured tread of a sister coming down the hall. Angelines had no book or embroidery--what was she to do? Quickly, her cousin threw the large tablecloth over Angelines, and with a smile and a nod Sister passed by the industriously sewing Teresita. Each year the academy girls of a certain age made a retreat. In 1941, at the age of eleven, Teresita would normally have been too young to attend. However, she asked for and received special permission to go along with the other girls. During the retreat, each girl kept a little notebook of points to remember from the lectures and discussions. It is probable that Teresita did not understand all the items in the discussions, but one thought which the priest presented and which Teresita quickly grasped was the necessity of making a resolution for life. Teresita's resolution, later found in this notebook, was: "I have decided to become a saint. The road Teresita decided to travel to fulfill this resolution was paved with numerous small conquests of her own will. Always, her companion and guide on this road was Our Lady. Like St. Therese of Lisieux, she realized that even the smallest personal sacrifices were pleasing gifts for God. Teresita said, "I know that of myself I could do nothing; but thanks to my wonderful confidence that the Blessed Virgin is going to make me holy, I am completely certain that I am going to reach great holiness." Later as a novice, Teresita asked for a copy of the life of her patroness, the Little Flower. She told a friend, "I like the little way of St. Therese very much, but for me that way must always go through Mary." Teresita was not fond of books, and often said school would be fine if there were no books to study. In study hall, she often spent time sketching on her paper or jotting notes rather than working on one of her assignments. At times she would entreat her sister Carmen, "Come on, Chatina, study the lesson for me." Nevertheless, she got along well with her teachers, and her happy nature made her a favorite with the other students. She was elected best dressed of her class, president of the sodality, and captain of the Basketball team which won the school championship in 1947. A good dancer, she enjoyed most things a normal Spanish girl her age enjoyed--including the bullfights, although she clapped for the bull as often as for the matador. Tennis was Teresita's favorite game, but no matter how hard she tried she usually came in second. By her senior year, she had improved her game so much that everyone felt certain she would win the championship. After the big game, Teresita returned home with such a happy expression that her mother asked if a new champ had been added to the family. Teresita said, "If you consider one who has won a spiritual victory a champion, then you have your champ, but not a tennis champion." Teresita then told her mother that before the match one of her friends had jokingly said that she was going to order a larger crown for the champion, as Teresita's head would be swelled by her victory. Although the remark was made only in jest, Teresita began to wonder if her desire for the championship might be only vanity. Before the game, Teresita asked Our Lady for whatever would please Jesus. Then at the match she played her best, but she lost. On the way home, Teresita stopped at the church to tell Our Lady that she understood the decision. An old woman was begging at the church door and Teresita gave her some money. In turn the beggar handed Teresita a card; she carried this with her to Our Lady's altar without glancing at it. As she knelt, the card fluttered to the floor, and she noticed that it had no picture, only a slogan ---"Love makes all things easy." One of Teresita's friends remembers her party days. "Everyone flocked around Tere at a party, especially the boys, because her conversation was sparkling. Tere loved people, and she loved parties... I never knew her to miss one." Once, Teresita promised to pierce a friend's ears for her. She had barely begun when the girl became queasy and fainted. Instead of panicking, the young surgeon took the opportunity of her friend's unconsciousness to finish her work and insert the new earrings. Her calmness and presence of mind had become a hallmark of her personality. On day in May of 1947, Teresita was praying in the chapel with the other students when, almost without knowing what she was saying, she asked the Virgin, "Mother, give me a religious vocation." Later, she confessed to a friend, "When I came out of chapel, I entered a terrible time of fear. I thought, `What if she takes me seriously and gives me one!'" But Jesus, who gives everything we ask through Mary, heard her prayer and answered it, making use of human mediation to work out the call. Teresita did not like to read and when someone gave her a spiritual book she took it only to be polite. Later, Teresita told the story. "As it was May, I wanted to give a sacrifice to Mary and so with much good will but little interest I began to read it. The book was about all the different vocations in life. When I reached the chapter that dealt with the religious vocation, I realized that this was the best and that it was definitely what I wanted." With the consent of her confessor, Teresita petitioned the Mother General to be admitted to the Carmelites of Charity. In the same interview, Teresita asked, "Then may I go to the missions in China?" Laughing, the superior replied that she would have to go to the novitiate first. It seemed that Teresita had always wanted to speed up everything. Several times her father had to restrict her use of the car, for she drove too fast to suit him. And many times she asked her aunt how she could become holy more quickly. On January 7, 1948, Teresita broke the news to her beloved father. After questioning her and realizing that she had a true vocation, he agreed to tell her mother and her brother and sister. For this deeply devout family, the natural sorrow of parting was tempered by the joy that one of their own had been chosed by God. Teresita entered the novitiate of the Carmelites of Charity on February 23, 1948. Throughout her postulancy and novitiate, Teresita tried hard to overcome even the slightest fault. She was known for her recollection in prayer and her charity to the other sisters. Even during her school days this recollection had been noticed by one of her teachers, Sister Ramona. Sister Ramona tells us that one day, wishing to see exactly how recollected Teresita was, she knelt beside her for ten minutes while she said the Rosary. Later that afternoon she asked Teresita, "Who was the sister kneeling on the prie-dieu with you after lunch today?" Teresita replied, "No one knelt on the priedieu while I was saying the Rosary, Sister. At least, I don't remember anyone." Teresita, or Sister Maria Teresa, liked nothing better than to keep Mary in all phases of her life. In May of 1949, Teresita became il

Linear shapes and geometric patterns fit together in this famous scene of Baroque art. Saint Teresa in Ecstasy is a sculptural group in marble set in an aedicule of the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. It was designed and completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It is generally considered to be one of the sculptural masterpieces of the High Roman Baroque. The scene depicts Teresa of Ávila swooning in a state of ecstasy, while an angel holding a spear stands over her. I wanted to reinterpret this scene in a more graphic way, stylizing the rays of light and the figure of Teresa, while I chose to paint the angel in a realistic way. The screen-printed pattern and geometric lines extend around the subject. The painting is sold without a frame, but only rolled canvas. It means that there is only canvas, no stretching and framing, and we will reserve enough canvas for stretching.

St. Teresa of the Andes Exclusive Restored Photograph Of St. Teresa of the Andes, the Vatican says, “The serenity of her face was a reflection of the divine guest within.” At the age of 6, the future Saint devoted herself to God. For the rest of her childhood was unusually devout. At age 14, she had a revelation from God that she would be a Carmelite nun and that holiness should be her goal. At some point she also had a revelation from God that she would die young. She had a deep prayer life and constantly spoke of God to her friends, giving them assistance and consolations. She was known by all as loving, devout, fervent, and cheerful, and she enjoyed playing sports. She entered the Carmel near her home in Santiago Chile, on May 7, 1919, just a few months before of her 19th birthday. She died a novice 11 months later, just short of making her final vows. Canonized by St. John Paul II in 1993, her feast day is April 12 on the general calendar. She is a patron of young people, and of bodily illness. She is the fourth Saint Teresa in Carmel, together with Saints Teresa of Avila, of Florence, and of Lisieux. Her friends called her Juanita, and you can too. She is still often referred to today by that name, according to the Vatican’s website. We ask for her prayers for the protection of the young and especially for the protection of the Carmel. We hope this restoration, using cutting edge AI technology, helps you draw closer to our Saint, and thus closer to our Lord. !!!IMPORTANT!!!

. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa — alternatively Saint Teresa in Ecstasy or Transverberation of Saint Teresa(L'Estasi di Santa Teresa or Santa Teresa in estasi) — is the central sculptural group in white marble set in an elevated aedicule in the Cornaro Chapel, Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome. It was designed and completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the leading sculptor of his day, who also designed the setting of the Chapel in marble, stucco and paint. It is generally considered to be one of the sculptural masterpieces of the High Roman Baroque. Bronze replica of the statue installed at Holy Grail Retreat. The two central sculptural figures of the swooning nun and the angel with the spear derive from an episode described by Teresa of Avila, a mystical cloistered Discalced Carmelite reformer and nun, in her autobiography, ‘The Life of Teresa of Jesus’ (1515–1582). Her experience of religious ecstasy in her encounter with the angel is described as follows: "I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying." — St Teresa of Avila (Chapter XXIX; Part 17, autobiography) The group is illuminated by natural light which filters through a hidden window in the dome of the surrounding aedicule, and underscored by gilded stucco rays. Teresa is shown lying on a cloud indicating that this is intended to be a divine apparition we are witnessing. Other witnesses appear on the side walls; life-size high-relief donor portraits of male members of the Cornaro family are present and shown discussing the event in boxes as if at the theatre. Although the figures are executed in white marble, the aedicule, wall panels and theatre boxes are made from colored marbles. Above, the vault of the Chapel is frescoed with an illusionistic cherub-filled sky with the descending light of the Holy Ghost allegorized as a dove. The art historian Rudolf Wittkower has written: "In spite of the pictorial character of the design as a whole, Bernini differentiated between various degrees of reality, the members of the Cornaro Chapel seem to be alive like ourselves. They belong to our space and our world. The supernatural event of Teresa’s vision is raised to a sphere of its own, removed from that of the beholder mainly by virtue of the isolating canopy and the heavenly light." .
