I have found a video, about one of the books, wrotten by Santa Teresa, tittled “Camino de perfección” (“Path of perfection”). If you want to watch this video, in order to know more about that book, please click on the link below:

Voice in off: “It has arrived, in a special bag, from the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites of Valladolid, who guard him for almost five centuries. Rarely it has left the closing, because of its enormous value; but the Exhibition, which is dedicated to Santa Teresa, at the National Library on the occasion of the fifth centenary of her birth, is one of those special occasions.”.
Juan Dobado (Curator of the Exhibition): “Its state of preservation is superb, because, well, it is a codex, which is differentiated, from the other version of the Escorial Monastery, because it is already drafted as a treaty; ie, she is dividing the chapters, she makes the drafting, and the book of "path" is like a catechesis of what being Discalced Carmelite”
Amaia Pérez de Mendiola (Voice in off): “Read, with eyes from today, Santa Teresa is surprisingly modern. A senior leader of the Church, of that time, came to describe her as "female, restless and wandering", adjectives that, surely, then were more than thick”.
Juan Dobado: “Her reflections, her writing seems to us totally current; ie, Why?, because she is a fighter, an enterprising…”
Now, you can read: TERESA DE JESUS. FROM APRIL 27 UNTIL MAY 31, THE SECOND MANUSCRIPT OF “PATH OF PERFECTION” IS EXPOSED.
Amaia Pérez de Mendiola: “Sculptures, polychrome, by Gregorio Fernandez and paintings by Rivera and Rubens ..., books, letters written, in her own handwriting, or her personal breviary: 110 pieces of immense value; so that, for conservation reasons, they can only be exposed for a month”.
Well, I think it is very interesting the opportunity of seeing this Exhibition. I hope that you can visit it.
And I also think that it is very interesting to know that Santa Teresa was a very persistent woman, because that certainly encouraged many women to get many challenges.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
