St. Teresa de los Andes (1900 - 1920) was baptized in the name of Juanita Fernandez Solar. She was born in Santiago, Chile. She was devoted to Christ from a very young age. She entered the Discalced Carmelite monastery at Los Andes on May 7, 1919. There she was given the religious name of Teresa of Jesus. She died on April 12, of the following year, having made her religious profession as a Carmelite. A model for young people, Teresa was beatified in 1987 in Santiago, Chile, and was canonized by St. Pope John Paul II on March 21, 1993.
St. Teresa please pray for the young people to have a zeal for Christ like you.
