teresita.jpgA nun dies at 105 years old. Likely to be the oldest. She was the nun of 10 popes.

At 19 years old Sister Teresita made the decision to be a Cistercian nun in the Monastery of Buenafuente. That was 1927. She once said that "even if I had married a prince, I would not be happier than I am now," to the Correo.

The news in Spanish.

We can be grateful for Sister's perseverance in the monastic way of life. Moreover, her joy seems to have been overflowing.

May Our Lady, Mother of the Cistercians with Saints Benedict and Bernard lead Sister Teresita to the Lord.
