Description
Excerpt from Jesus, the All-Beautiful: A Devotional Treatise on the Character and Actions of Our Lord
Sister teresa gertrude of the Blessed Sacrament, member of the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, was born in the county of Wilts, during the year 1836. Her parents were Protestants, from whom she received in her earliest youth only those cold and formal religious impressions which were then so prevalent. Being the idol of both father and mother, her every desire was gratified, and thus her mind was but little formed to habits of obedience and self-denial. After the death of her father, she went with her mother to live in Devon shire, and cemented still more strongly the singularly tender love between parent and child.
It was at this period that she was brought into contact with persons belonging to the Ritualistic party in the Church of England, and all that was most real and earnest in their practices, at once enlisted the sympathy of her ardent nature. She devoted herself with great zeal to the work of visiting the poor and the sick, and of instructing the young and ignorant; and it was while thus engaged that the path was opened out to her conversion. Having, one day, entered by mistake the house of a poor old Catholic who was sick, she began to console him and exhort him to greater patience in his suffering. But he answered bluntly that he had a book on his shelf which could tell him far more than she knew, and begged her to reach it down for him. When, on finding it to be The Garden of the Soul, she perceived the man was a Catholic, though he was evidently not a very fervent one, she resolved to do what she could for him, called at the Presbytery, asked to see one of the priests, and gave him the address of the sick man.
