50 years since St Teresa’s doctorate

The 27th of September this year marked the 50th anniversary of St Teresa’s declaration as a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI. On this website is available the Apostolic Letter containing the declaration, in Italian, Spanish and English. The General Curia has also echoed this event through various publications on all our social networks and the Teresianum website presented, on the same day, some documents of interest for a deeper understanding of the content of the Doctorate.

We also received news of the exhibition of “Sacred Teresian Art” that, from Sunday the 25th of  September until the 25th of October, can be visited in the St John of the Cross church of the Discalced Carmelite Friars in Alba de Tormes, who also scheduled a Mass of thanksgiving and a lecture on the Teresian doctorate by Fr Manuel Diego Sánchez ocd. In the photos that accompany this news you can see some of the pieces of great value present in the exhibition.

For their part, the Discalced Carmelite Friars of the La Santa monastery in Avila, in addition to a series of four reflections on the dimension of the doctorate given by Fr. Daniel de Pablo Maroto ocd, which can be consulted on the Facebook page of the Curia, have organized a course for the 23rd to 25th of October, with the title: “Central Elements of Teresian Spirituality”, to be presented by Fr. Secundino Castro, ocd.

On Sunday the 27thof September, the first event of the congress on the fiftieth anniversary of Teresa’s doctorate took place in the Cathedral of Avila. We made note of the content of this event some weeks ago. The session can be viewed on this YouTube link:
