The follwing was written by Mary Kay Daniels, OCDS


In the Epilogue of The Life, Holy Mother Teresa wrote, "I ask your Reverence (Garcia Toledo, O.P.) to correct it (her book) and have it transcribed if it is to be brought to the Father Master Avila, ….I urgently desire that he be asked for his opinion about it since this was my intention in begining to write. If it seems to him I am walking on a good path, I shall be very consoled; then nothing else would remain for me than to do than what lies within my power." (Paragraph 2)
