Excerpt from LO, St. Teresa de Avila

"I had an unforgettable experience the day that I saw the statue of Saint Teresa in the back bedroom of Teresita's house.  Fidel's laws prohibited religious practice outside of a church building, so the statue was hidden in a corner behind an armoire...................the wind was tunnellike, and I could feel it............it was fast despite its gentleness........"
