EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), the renowned Spanish Carmelite nun and visionary, is depicted in deep prayer before the angel of justice. Teresa, known for her profound spiritual experiences and reforms of the Carmelite Order, is shown with a humble and penitent expression, her hands pressed together in supplication. The angel of justice, a symbol of divine retribution and fairness, looms behind her, his wings outstretched and his gaze fixed on Teresa. The scene captures the essence of Teresa's devotion and her unwavering faith in the mercy of God. Teresa, who experienced numerous mystical visions throughout her life, is believed to have had a close relationship with angels, who guided and protected her. In this moment, she turns to the angel of justice, imploring him to intercede on behalf of sinners and to grant them mercy. The image is a testament to Teresa's deep spiritual connection and her commitment to the religious life. As a Carmelite nun, she lived a simple and austere existence, dedicating herself to prayer, contemplation, and the pursuit of holiness. Her reforms of the Carmelite Order, which emphasized personal prayer and the importance of living in community, helped to shape the religious landscape of Europe and continue to inspire believers today. This powerful and moving image of Saint Teresa of Avila and the angel of justice serves as a reminder of the transformative power of faith and the importance of seeking mercy and justice in our own lives. It is a reminder that, no matter how great our sins may be, there is always hope for redemption and forgiveness through the intercession of the saints and the mercy of God.
