Secondly, as she conceived Our Lord miraculously, so too she gave birth in that fashion, He came out of her: as St. Maximus The Confessor writes, “As Miraculously he was conceived, he appeared outside the womb on her lap.”
He had historical sources we can only dream of. He wrote the first full length autobiography of Our Lady. Next thing, she too, was of the House Of David and she had to go to Bethlehem & Yes, her family went ahead, including St. Elizabeth mother of St. John The Baptist.

St. Teresa de Jesus’ spirituality is way more complex & if you want to learn about it, you need to know about her uncle, who joined the Hieronymites or The Order Of Saint Jerome in Toledo Spain. He gave her a book, The Third Spiritual Alphabet by Francisco de Osuna; at the time the Spanish Inquisition had a list of books burned, they had this book burned, but it was not considered illegal by the Church and was reviewed by the Friars Minor and found it had no errors and is entirely Catholic.
To even see her come to life, get a copy of the Spanish Miniseries Teresa de Jesus, which EWTN used to play often. It is powerful. I left my bed when watching Sunday Mass when Fr. John Paul Mary was speaking wrongfully about St. Teresa Of Avila, I went looking for my copy of the miniseries, her image portrayed by the actress caught my face and she guided me to her DVD. She does still respond, if you have a relationship with her, like you do for favorite Saint.
Once Again, we have people making movies or sermons without going to the sources, only using second to third hand or further down the line “sources.” Why do people not read and do research or in her case, watch the miniseries?
