Teresa, My Love: An Imagined Life of the Saint of Avila

Sources

The works of St. Teresa of Avila are quoted from the following translation issued by the Institute of Carmelite Studies:

The Collected Works of St. Teresa of Avila. trans. Kieran Kavanaugh and Otilio Rodríguez. 3 vols. Washington, D.C.: ICS, 1976–1985.

The Collected Letters of St. Teresa of Avila. trans. Kieran Kavanaugh. 2 vols. Washington, D.C.: ICS, 2001–2007.

Within quoted matter, emphases are of the author of the present work. [Occasionally, when the ICS translation does not follow the Spanish as faithfully as is needed for the purposes of the present work, I have put an alternative version in square brackets, followed by the Spanish. — Trans.]

The original in Spanish was consulted online at: Obras completas de Santa Teresa de Jesús (es.catholic.net/santoral/147/2519/articulo.php?id=2059).
