Solemnity of Our Holy Mother St Teresa of Avila

Solemnity of Our Holy Mother St Teresa of Avila

Greetings to all our visitors for the feast of our great Mother St Teresa of Jesus and the opening of her quincentenary year. Celebrations begin with High Mass at the friars’ church in Kensington at 7.00pm. We are planning some events in our own monastery throughout the year and details will appear here in due time.

The theme of this special year is a line taken from a poem written by St Teresa
I WAS BORN FOR YOU
We would like to offer for your reflection today one verse of the poem.

I am Yours and born for You,
What do You want of me?
Yours, you made me,
Yours, you saved me,
Yours, you endured me,
Yours, you called me,
Yours, you awaited me,
Yours, I did not stray.
What do You want of me?
