Excerpt from The Life of Saint TeresaHe who loves Thee, O my God, travels safely by the Open and royal road, far from the precipice, he has scarcely stumbled at all when Thou stretchest forth Thy hand to save him. - st. Teresa.IT was the little girl who made me do it, pleaded Rodrigo de Cepeda, and although he did not know it, the excuse was as old as the world.The little girl in question was Rodrigo's seven-year-old Sister Teresa, who had been seized with a burning desire for martyrdom. She wanted to see God, she passionately assured her brother, and as it was necessary to die first, martyrdom was obviously the only means to her end. Rodrigo himself had not seen the matter quite in the same light, but as Teresa was his own particular friend and playmate, and they had always done everything together, he had considered himself bound to enter into her views.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
