SAINT TERESA OF JESUS OF THE ANDES: Heart of innumerable Glories 

Biographical Sketch of Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes

Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes was born in Santiago, Chile, on July 13, 1900. Her father Miguel Fernández and her mother, Lucía Solar de Fernández were good Catholic parents. The name that they gave to their beloved daughter was Juanita Fernández Solar (St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes). St. Teresa of Jesus was baptized at Santiago's Parish Church of Saint Anne on the vigil of the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

       At age 6, Jesus appeared as a small boy to St. Teresa of Jesus while she was playing in the family yard. Jesus, pretending to be a new boy in the neighborhood, began to participate in the childhood games that St. Teresa of Jesus was playing. It was during one of His visits that the Child King spoke of His desire that she be introduced to His Mother. It was from that time onward that Juanita began to experience ecstasies. On more than one occasion, Our Holy Mother revealed to her the wonders of her Immaculate Heart, and gave her the understanding that the Child King resided in her heart in a special way. She did this in preparation for when Juanita was to receive the Eucharist for the first time. Juanita’s heart became ignited with Divine Love and also with an unquenchable desire that the Child King dwell in her heart in the same way that He resided in His Mother’s Heart. Upon receiving her First Holy Communion, the Child King spoke to her from her heart for the first time. When He spoke He related to her that the great desire of her heart, which was for Himself to dwell in her heart like His Mother’s Heart, was granted to her. The Child King also granted her a special gift of being able to communicate directly to the Child King in her Heart. From that time onward, Juanita spent much time separated from the world and in communication with the Child King and His Mother. In ecstasy Our Precious Mother would appear to her with the Child King in Her Heart also, and this is something they now shared together in common. Juanita’s joy on earth was complete. Our Holy Mother then instructed her on how to speak to Jesus in her heart, and She also spoke to her about what to do, and what not to do to protect this treasure in Her Heart. Our Holy Mother explained to her that the gift of Jesus in her heart will bring about wondrous consequences in the next life if she was very good to the Child King in Her Heart.

       After her first Communion, St. Teresa of Jesus received Holy Communion every day. Her parents enrolled her in a Catholic School run by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Here is where she received good Catholic teaching that became the foundation for her to become St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes with her Heart of Innumerable Glories.

       St. Teresa of Jesus's outward appearance differed little from the lives of other girls her age. Those who knew her described her as being friendly and pleasing, with a happy disposition. Though she did well in her studies, she always made time for Jesus and His Mother, and was drawn to spend time with them. Repeatedly she would slip away quietly to a nearby chapel to pray. In those moments she exchanged heartfelt sentiments of love and affection with them. Jesus had so deeply captured Juanita’s heart that she made a vow of perfect virginity when she was fifteen. In a letter to her sister Rebecca she described her ecstatic joy for this great gift of God: “I have been caught by the Divine Fisherman in the net of His Love.”

       When eighteen, Juanita entered religious life the Carmel of Los Andes, Chile, and was given the name Sister Teresa of Jesus in honor of the great Carmelite saint of Ávila. Overcome by the grace of being called to the religious life she wrote to a friend, “What does God see in us that makes Him love us to the point of wanting us to be His friends, and the brides of His Heart.” Almost all her letters from Carmel are signed with the name Teresa, to which she generally adds the word Carmelite. However in a letter written to her mother, she referred to herself as Teresita. On May 1919 she wrote: “I am getting ready for my Pentecost retreat. Won’t you pray that your Teresita may be madly consumed by His Love.”

       Sister Teresa of Jesus lived in the Monastery of Los Andes only eleven months, wore the habit of her Carmelite order less than five, and then she was stricken with typhus. In danger of death, she was permitted to make her religious vows and thus died as a professed Carmelite Sister.

       Immediately after her death in 1920, extraordinary things begun to happen. People were moved by God to see in this young Chilean girl a model of perfect holiness. She was acclaimed the saint closest to the heart of the people of Chile, and many found her to be a wonderful friend and intercessor before God. The fame of her holiness grew as miracles abound. As a result, she was beatified on April 3, 1987, in Santiago, and canonized in Rome by the same Pope on March 21, 1993. On that occasion, Pope John Paul II made the proposal that she be the model for young persons today. He had much devotion and admiration for her because she remained strong in her faith, and was in every way a perfect example for people of her age to follow. Up to the present day she is a light shining bright for young people. If any young person is confused because of what they are facing in regard to pressures of today, they have always before them someone that they can look up to, draw strength from, and go to for help.

The Heart of Innumerable Glories of Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes

Jesus has made Himself present to Saint Teresa of Jesus, in an extraordinary way at an early age; and from that time onward she grew up in His Love, and also the Love of Our Holy Mother. Jesus and Mary were always first in her life, and with the strength they provided to her, she became the perfect child—the one whom Jesus has chosen to be modeled after Himself when He was a Child. Saint Teresa of Jesus’s Heart of Innumerable Glories, is Jesus's gift to the youth of today, and also to everyone. She is the example set before us all to follow during a time when moral decline is at its worst; Jesus was pleased to preserve in her modesty and an extra ordinary gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus has not abandoned us nor especially the youth, we at anytime request that St. Teresa of Jesus can visit us and she will bring Jesus with her in her Heart of this gifted person. Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes’s Heart of Innumerable Glories is an excellent way to approach Jesus in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. There isn’t a person more kind, loving, and understanding than Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes, and to spend time with her is a wonderful pleasure. When we invite her for a visit as part of our time in prayer, Jesus always accompanies her in her heart. In her Heart, He is always quite content and is delighted to receive all His children by way of his spokes person Saint Teresa of Jesus the Andes. Jesus is silent as we speak to her to about our troubles. Though He is silent, He provides the sunshine and warmth of His presence. The overall ambiance when speaking with St. Teresa of Jesus is joyful and happy. She is absolutely ideal for us to open our hearts to, and especially for unburdening ourselves. She is very kind, and understanding and will not leave you if you have been overwhelmed by sorrows. With her love and sway with Jesus, she can make the impossible become possible. Jesus gives her full knowledge of everything about us, therefore we can speak to her about anything in our lives, and she has a solution for every problem. Furthermore she is always desirous to accommodate Jesus’s wishes which is for all of his children to grow in His Love and become “Only Jesus” to the world. If you desire to spend time with Saint Teresa of Jesus and Her Heart of Innumerable Glories say this prayer:

come and visit me. I need to speak to thee.

       She is listening and already waiting for you to say the prayer. If you do not think that she is there say the pray two or three times. Be patient and persevere, she will make her presence felt. When she does so you may say something like: “St. Teresa of Jesus, I am so happy that you are here. Is Jesus with you? Please give Him a hug and kiss for me.” Then proceed to open your heart to her; and then ask her for her help, and whatever you need.

Meditation with the Child King

Saint Teresa of Jesus of the Andes’s Heart of Innumerable Glories is a Heart with a very special purpose of presenting to us the Child King. Her heart is the place where we come to see Jesus. When you arrive at her heart the Child King is sitting on His throne surrounded in all His majesty, power, and love. What makes her heart special is that the Child King is waiting for you here. He is waiting for you smiling and with outstretched arms to welcome you, and also wanting to embrace you. You are very special to Jesus and as you approach, He calls out to you by our name and He says “come here my child, come to me.” Hearing His beautiful voice you leave everything behind, including your worldly preoccupations, doubts, fears, troubles, and hurts. Approaching St. Teresa of Jesus’s Heart, you look at the Child King in awe, and experience His love reaching out to you. And then, suddenly you are in His presence with Him; You and the Child King. He speaks to you as though you are very familiar to Him. He actually knows everything about you, and He loves you just the way you are. Then He sweetly says your name as though you are His beloved and He says “At this moment I want to give you an experience of My Beautiful Love that will touch you in such a way that it will be very moving and meaningful to you; and in my Love I want to give you my all, everything that is myself.” “These portions of myself that I give you will be yours from this moment on; receive me, and respond to me.” “First, I give my eyes so that you may see my Mother whom I Love, and the path that leads to Her Heart. I am the Way, Truth, and the Life and I reside in My Mother’s Heart for you to join me there. “I give you also My Heart with all its Love to embrace your heart, so that with My Heart you can Love my Mother with a Love that is most pleasing to Her. Joining me in My Mother’s Heart, and being immersed in My Love, will be the way that will lead to a whole New Life for you. Also I now give you my hands so that blessing can be spread through everything you touch, and you will be given a powerful desire to help My Precious Mother because her burdens are many in these times. Furthermore, I give you my ears so that you can hear and experience the Love that she has for you; and also that you may be attentive to Her every wish. Lastly, I give you my feet that you may walk with new strength in the vigor of My Life in the Cathedral of Love. Furthermore you will walk in My Will that will lead other’s to a life of Love and Peace with Me in My Mother’s Heart. I give my whole self, and I hold nothing back. In return I ask you to give me every negative thing in your life. Your brokenness, your pain, sorrows, fears, anxieties, and doubts, and in their place I will give you a double portion of my Love. Respond to me by remaining with me in My Mother’s Heart for the rest of your days. In her Heart I will give you a blessing that will never leave you. Now is the time to remain with me as my beloved in my Love at all times in My Mother’s Heart.

To Receive Jesus’s Healing Love at St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes’s Heart
of Innumerable Glories

Now I want to say something about St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes’s Heart of Innumerable Glories with whom I have a 10 to 15 minute visit with every day. It is the desire of Jesus and Our Mother of the Cathedral of Love that all her children do this. She always arrives with Jesus in Her heart. I never speak to Jesus directly but only to St. Teresa of Jesus and Jesus is always present in her heart. I do not actually see St. Teresa of Jesus like in an apparition but she speaks to me through impulses of Divine Love. Through my discourse with her she has asked me to say something about Jesus in her Heart and she has confirmed that He is four years old. She has also confirmed that Jesus has two postures in her heart. The first posture is that He is sitting on a beautiful thrown holding a globe with a cross on it in the left hand and His right hand is raised to impose a blessing. He has a beautiful Crown and wears a white garment with gold trim. I usually ask St. Teresa to ask Jesus for His blessing and no sooner does the request leave my lips when I am given a powerful blessing that is absolutely wonderful. It always brings a smile to my face. The second posture is that He is the Child King who is sitting on His thrown with His Beautiful Eyes and Face looking at us. She says that they are blue and His hair blond. His arms and hands are outstretched to receive His children to give them lots of Love. St. Teresa of Jesus is wonderful to talk to and delighting together in our love for Jesus is something that we do together during her visit. She has an unbelieveable Love for Jesus which makes me desirous of wanting to love Him just as much as she does. With St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes we always have an “in” with Jesus. A favorite request is to ask St. Teresa of Jesus of the Andes for an experience of Jesus’s Love from Her Heart of Innumerable Glories.

       Jesus is never absent from Saint Teresa of Jesus’s Heart of Innumerable Glories, but dwell there is a very special way. We all are invited to approach St. Teresa of Jesus’s heart to ask her for a powerful experience of Jesus’s embrace of Healing Love. In His embrace, the Power of Jesus's Healing Love will gently rest upon us when we ask this of St. Teresa of Jesus. From this touch of His Love, feelings interior emptiness, fears, anxieties, depression, and loneliness are replaced by His Love, peace, affirmation, and His Beautiful Self. For an experience of His Healing Love one are all three of the following prayers:
