St. Teresa of
Avila along with her coworker, St.
John
of the Cross, were two of the greatest mystics in Christian
history. Mysticism
seeks to experience God "as he or she is"
and has been a part of many religions, especially Eastern religions
In one of St. Teresa's most famous mystical states, she wrote
about her union with Christ which she found impossible to explain in human
terms. However, she did claim to experience the transverbatio or
piercing of her heart, piercing being one of the most common symbols of
mystics. At her autopsy, massive scar tissue was found on her heart. |
