saint teresa of jesus ( avila ) be so beautifully portray in this movie and and bring her writing into a brilliant reality . for those who have read her work and you will see her action live out along with her spiritual insight . the acting could not be good and it be human and humble . i really enjoy the true to life setting and and language . i be happy to see this series have win award and and concha velasco win my heart over . her portrayal of this saint be remarkable due to the ability to convey humility and spiritual depth and holy virtue and love for jesus christ and and over the course of time to age in character . the rest of the cast be superb in evoke a love or hate relationship for the viewer because one either will love or hate saint teresa of jesus and and those for or against her strong determination to create the discalced carmelite order that have flourish through out the world to this day . i highly recommend this to anyone and believer or not . you will be inspire by one woman courage to follow through and and will never be able to feel self pity or make excuse you can not do something great with your own life after watch this series . there really should be more series make for tv just like this one . the world surely need them .
