sr. Teresa Benedicta
of the Cross !

- ph.d saint -

'if your life does not consist
in imitating [the Crucified]...
it has no value'...

'God has created each human...
being as an image of himself.

There is a seed within each of us
pushing blindly towards fulfillment
of this goal for which we are created.

We can think of the plant,
which reaches constantly for sun, air and water,
which will flower to its own perfection...

We too have instilled that awaiting perfection - holiness -
as a unique image of God'...
