Booklet: Since her death, Mother Maravillas has become a talking point both among Carmelites and throughout the Church. It should as no surprise to us that of all Carmelites, she is the one who has been raised to the altar in the shortest time: only 24 years after her death. St Teresa of Ávila took 30 years and even St Thérèse of Lisieux took 32. So this is a record.
She has been called the St Teresa of the 20th century. And rightly so. The convents she founded and her life are very impressive. The role she played had providential and prophetic echoes. This small and urgent biography is intended as a humble offering to this extraordinary woman, or rather to the glory of God, since all is grace.
Mother Maravillas (1891-1974), a Discalced Carmelite, is an example of deep humility and devotion to the Lord. Her dedication and her love of God, her Teresian spirituality and apostolic zeal can be seen in the foundation of various convents, among which two stand out: Cerro de los Ángeles and La Aldehuela. She died in 1974, was beatified in 1998 and canonized in 2003.
Saint Maravillas Of Jesus: Jesus Christ The Sole Reason Of My Life (2002) is translated from the original Spanish text, Vida de la Madre Maravillas, into the English by Oliver Todd.
Saint Maravillas Of Jesus: Jesus Christ The Sole Reason Of My Life (2002) was purchased at the Librairie Catholique Internationale in Lourdes, France, for a sum of €12.
