An angel pierces St. Teresa’s heart with a flaming arrow. The image recalls her most famous vision. St. Teresa’s motto appears in the scrollwork above the figures. It reads: “Aut pati, aut mori” (“Either suffer or die” or, less tersely, “[Lord, let me] either suffer or [let me] die”). + Feast: October 15 + Image Credit (SAU 28): Antique image of St. Teresa of Avila, chromolithograph with gilt highlights from the Almanach Catholique de Belgique for the year 1888 (9th year of printing; Bruges and Lille: Société St. Augustin; Desclée De Brower et Cie, [1889]), n.p.
