TERESA of the Child Jesus
Saint John of the Cross

Along with Blessed Maria Angeles of Saint Joseph and Blessed Maria Pilar of Saint Francis Borgia she was one of the first of the hundreds of martyrs of the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. The mob that murdered her offered her freedom if she would say "Viva el Comunismo!" ("Long live Communism"); she answered "Viva Christo Rey!".

Beatified: 29 March 1987 by Pope John Paul II
