If you'd like to know a bit more about her life or be reminded if you are familiar with it already, this video gives an excellent summary.
Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'.
The limitless loving devotion to God, and the gift God makes of Himself to you, are the highest elevation of which the heart is capable; it is the highest degree of prayer. The souls that have reached this point are truly the heart of the Church. St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.
Saint Teresa Benedicta,
holy martyr, philosopher of truth,
defender of the human person
against the evils of this age,
enlighten our minds, illumine our hearts,
fill our lives with the passion
of your love for the Cross.
Amen.
