Un diálogo con el legado poético de la cofundadora de las Hermanas Apostólicas de Cristo Crucificado

The Centro Internacional Teresiano Sanjuanista – Universidad de la Mística de Ávila (CITeS) will host the third edition of its course, Universal Literature and Carmel, from October 16 to 18. The program, titled Amor que nunca dice basta, examines the literary works of Saint Joaquina de Vedruna and Amalia Martín de la Escalera.

Amalia Martín de la Escalera co-founded the Apostolic Sisters of Christ Crucified, a congregation from the Diocese of Cartagena. Course director Javier Marín Marín stated that her writings are primarily poetic and reflect the beauty and expression of the ineffable present in Carmel and universal mysticism. The course will also study the epistolary legacy of Saint Joaquina de Vedruna, founder of the Carmelitas de la Caridad de Vedruna, through her collection of letters.

Specialists will connect these legacies to cinema, theater, artistic heritage, and universal literature. The course title refers to the love of the Holy Trinity, a theme also mentioned by Martín de la Escalera in her writings.
