Pope Francis announced 2015 shall be the Year of Consecrated Life just as Teresa completed her book in time to share it with Catholics around the world who are open to learning about her unique journey and UNEXPECTED GLORY she discovered along the way. Her story, which touches many, shows us how her every day encounters bring to life a simple understanding of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church – Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.

 

She also shares with readers how these experiences relate to Sacred Scripture, her personal relationship with the community of Saints, and most importantly, the gift that is so critical to each and every one of us – God's unending mercy. Her story, communicated in her unique voice, is filled with the joys and sorrows of her life, but rising up above it all is God's love. Teresa brings "the little child in all of us closer to God."
