Mary Was Her Life

This is the biography of a young woman in Spain, María Teresa (Teresita) Quevedo, who had a tremendous devotion to Mary, and through Mary, loved Our Lord even more strongly. Teresita entered a convent at the young age of 18 or 19, and died a short time later in 1950--in anticipation of the announcement of the Dogma of the Assumption of Mary. Teresita so desired to be in Heaven to celebrate this alongside the entire Heavenly Court--and so she died just hours before the announcement--after suffering excruciating pain for several months--offering all to God. Teresita is a model of love and devotion, an example for all of us, how to give all to God.
