of Avila DVD is in Spanish with English Subtitles.
The Saint Teresa of Avila DVD
is a powerful epic mini-series shot on location in Spain that tells the
story of one of the most amazing women in history, Saint Teresa of
Avila.
With meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy,
outstanding production values, and an incredible performance by actress
Concha Velasco as Teresa, this acclaimed major film production is the
definitive film on the life of this great saint.
Teresa of Avila was called by God to reform and renew the
Carmelite order, a daunting task. She was joined in this work by her
great fellow Carmelite and spiritual director, St. John of the Cross.
This film reveals the conversion that Teresa herself had to go thru to
deepen her own union with Christ as she endeavored to bring about that
same deeper spiritual reform of her Carmelite order. It shows the
tremendous opposition that she and John both faced within (and without)
their order to bring about this much needed spiritual renewal. She and
John of the Cross were both great mystics who combined the essential
dimensions of a profound spiritual life with the very practical aspects
of being completely dedicated to the human tasks necessary for such a
reform.
