This study explores the profound influence of St. Jerome—biblical scholar, ascetic, and Doctor of the Church—on the thought and spirituality of St. Teresa of Ávila. Drawing on Teresa’s Life, Way of Perfection, Foundations, Letters, and Meditations, Sr. Pascale-Dominique Nau examines how Jerome’s example of disciplined study, interior prayer, and ascetic rigor helped shape Teresa’s vision of holiness and her reform of Carmelite life.
Through a careful reading of Teresa’s writings, the book shows how she understood Jerome not only as a translator of Scripture, but as a model of integrated sanctity—combining intellectual pursuit with deep contemplative prayer. His presence in her texts, from her early vocational inspirations to her mature guidance of communities, reveals a continuity of spiritual dialogue between the Church Fathers and the great mystics of the Counter-Reformation.
With scholarly precision and spiritual sensitivity, this volume offers a new lens on the intertextual and theological currents linking the desert fathers to the Carmelite reform, inviting readers to rediscover how sacred study and contemplative prayer form one seamless path to God.
