La noche del 4 de octubre de 1582, Espa\u00f1a se fue a dormir. A la ma\u00f1ana siguiente era 15 de octubre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diez d\u00edas simplemente desaparecieron. El antiguo calendario se hab\u00eda desincronizado con las estaciones, y el Papa Gregorio XIII lo hab\u00eda corregido. Espa\u00f1a fue uno de los primeros pa\u00edses en adoptar el nuevo calendario. Al jueves 4 de octubre le sigui\u00f3 el viernes 15 de octubre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Y esa misma noche, en un convento de Alba de Tormes, agonizaba una monja carmelita. Se llamaba Teresa de \u00c1vila y ten\u00eda sesenta y siete a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Por eso la Iglesia la recuerda el 15 de octubre y no el 4 de octubre. Su festividad es un d\u00eda que casi no lleg\u00f3 a existir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teresa naci\u00f3 en \u00c1vila, Espa\u00f1a, en 1515. Ingres\u00f3 en la orden carmelita y dedic\u00f3 gran parte de su vida a ayudar a su congregaci\u00f3n a regresar a la oraci\u00f3n, la sencillez y la quietud. Escribi\u00f3 libros sobre la comunicaci\u00f3n con Dios que a\u00fan hoy se leen. En 1970, el papa Pablo VI la nombr\u00f3 Doctora de la Iglesia, siendo una de las dos primeras mujeres en recibir dicho t\u00edtulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La tradici\u00f3n recuerda sus \u00faltimas palabras de esta manera: \u201cAl final, soy hija de la Iglesia\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Era pr\u00e1ctica, cari\u00f1osa y no se alteraba f\u00e1cilmente. Y dej\u00f3 un peque\u00f1o poema. Tras su muerte, se encontr\u00f3 un trozo de papel en su libro de oraciones. En ingl\u00e9s, los versos suelen traducirse as\u00ed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Que nada te perturbe.
Todo pasa.
Solo Dios es inmutable.
La paciencia todo lo consigue.
Solo Dios basta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Los traductores lo redactan de forma ligeramente diferente. Tradicionalmente, el poema se le atribuye a ella).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perm\u00edtanme detenerme un momento con la segunda l\u00ednea. Todo pasa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No es un pensamiento triste. En realidad, no. Significa que el dolor de cabeza est\u00e1 pasando. La larga lista est\u00e1 pasando. La semana dif\u00edcil, la temporada dif\u00edcil, la conversaci\u00f3n dif\u00edcil que tanto temes. Todo eso est\u00e1 pasando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00bfY qu\u00e9 no pasa? Teresa dice Dios. Ah\u00ed es donde nos dice que pongamos nuestro peso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quiz\u00e1s te gustar\u00eda copiar esas l\u00edneas en una peque\u00f1a tarjeta hoy, con tu propia letra. Gu\u00e1rdala en un libro, en el bolsillo de un abrigo o en la esquina de un espejo. Que te sirva de marcap\u00e1ginas para un d\u00eda dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teresa guard\u00f3 la suya en un libro de oraciones, y as\u00ed lleg\u00f3 hasta nosotros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Que nada te perturbe. Solo Dios basta. Me gusta esa idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En el monumento a Santa Teresa de \u00c1vila, la santa que muri\u00f3 la noche en que desaparecieron diez d\u00edas del calendario, y el peque\u00f1o poema que marcap\u00e1ginas empieza con: "Que nada te perturbe".\u201c<\/p>","protected":false},"author":132804860,"featured_media":17604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[778141544,785751986,401,363995,31717094],"tags":[4228145,785751095,104575,785751011,3902436],"class_list":["post-17611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-catholic-faith-reflection","category-daily-reflections","category-faith","category-faith-reflections","category-liturgical-reflections","tag-catholic-saints","tag-feast-day","tag-patience","tag-reflection","tag-saint-teresa-of-avila"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9vUsN-4A3","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2675,"url":"https:\/\/my-all-about-you.com\/es\/2024\/08\/30\/st-teresa-of-avilas-body-remains-incorrupt-after-almost-5-centuries\/","url_meta":{"origin":17611,"position":0},"title":"El cuerpo de Santa Teresa de \u00c1vila permanece incorrupto despu\u00e9s de casi 5 siglos.","author":"myallaboutyou","date":"agosto 30, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"The Diocese of \u00c1vila also revealed that 10 keys were used to open the tomb.
