One day after the octave of the feast of the Visitation while I was in a hermitage of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel praying to God for one of my brothers, I said to the Lord (I don’t know, perhaps I may have just thought it): “Why is my brother in a place where his salvation is in danger? Were I, Lord, to see Your brother in this danger, what wouldn’t I do to help him!” It seemed to me that I would have left nothing undone in order to help.

The Lord answered me: “Oh, daughter, daughter! These Sisters in the Incarnation are My Sisters, and you delay? Well, take courage; behold I want it, and it isn’t as difficult as it seems to you. And whereas you think some harm will come to your houses, both they and the Incarnation will benefit. Do not resist, for My power is great.”

Saint Teresa of Avila

Spiritual Testimonies 16
St. Joseph’s Avila, 10 July 1571

Note: In obedience to the directive of the Apostolic Visitor appointed by Pope Pius V (Pedro Fernández, O.P.), St. Teresa assumed her new role as Prioress of the Carmel of the Incarnation on 14 October 1571, just one week after the Battle of Lepanto. Her brothers had already traveled to the Spanish colonies in South America to support King Philip II.
