Abstract

Je vous salue, Thérèse, femme sans frontières, corps physique érotique hystérique épileptique, qui se fait verbe qui se fait chair, qui se défait en soi hors de soi, flots d'images sans tableaux, tumultes de paroles cascades d'éclosions, jumeau du Christ, c'est Lui au plus intime de moi, moi Thérèse, femme d'affaires, fondatrice, jubilatrice, mourir de ne pas mourir c'est écrire, une sorte de demeure, de jeu, Dieu nous aime joueuses mes filles, croyez-moi, mais oui, échec et mat à Dieu aussi, bien sûr, ça délivre, ça s'écoule, les âmes qui aiment écoutent, elles voient jusqu'aux atomes, ça les fait jouir, des atomes infiniment amoureux, mais oui, Thérèse, oui, ma sœur extatique excentrique appelée touchée imaginée pensée repensée dépensée, hors de vous en vous hors de moi en moi, out, Thérèse mon amour.

Abstract

Ana de San Bartolomé (1549-1626), a contemporary and close associate of St. Teresa of Ávila, typifies the curious blend of religious activism and spiritual forcefulness that characterized the first generation of Discalced, or reformed Carmelites. Known for their austerity and ethics, their convents quickly spread throughout Spain and, under Ana's guidance, also to France and the Low Countries. Constantly embroiled in disputes with her male superiors, Ana quickly became the most vocal and visible of these mystical women and the most fearless of the guardians of the Carmelite Constitution, especially after Teresa's death. Her autobiography, clearly inseparable from her religious vocation, expresses the tensions and conflicts that often accompanied the lives of women whose relationship to the divine endowed them with an authority at odds with the temporary powers of church and state. Last translated into English in 1916, Ana's writings give modern readers fascinating insights into the nature of monastic life during the highly charged religious and political climate of late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century Spain.
