The following day she received the sacrament of baptism, and the sacrament of confirmation at the age of 6. She studied teaching and felt called to the contemplative life. In Barbastro she met the priests Pedro Llacera and Saturnino Lopez Novoa, and saw the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermanitas.net\/fundadora-santa-teresa-jornet\/\">project<\/a> to which God was calling her. Surrendering her life as a religious sister to the service of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/news\/grandparents-and-the-elderly-at-the-heart-of-the-church\/\">elderly in need<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He received the definitive approval of the Constitutions a few days before his death in August 1897. At that time he said: \"Take care of the elderly with interest and care, have great charity, and observe the Constitutions; in this lies your sanctification\". She died in Liria (Valencia) on August 26, 1897. She was beatified by Pius XII on April 27, 1958 and canonized on January 27, 1974 by St. Paul VI.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pope <a href=\"https:\/\/es.catholic.net\/op\/articulos\/32098\/teresa-de-jess-jornet-e-ibars-santa.html\">Roman Martyrology<\/a> The following is collected: \"In Liria, Spain, saint Teresa de Jes\u00fas Jornet Ibars, virgin, who, to help the elderly, founded the Institute of the Little Sisters of the Elderly Forsaken (1897)\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>California Evangelist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fray Jun\u00edpero Serra (1713-1784) is the only Spaniard with a statue in the Capitol in Washington. Pope Francis inscribed him in the catalog of saints in 2015, after he was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1988. Sufficient data to clear the good name of this illustrious Spanish friar against any activism or ignorance alien to the historical truth. Thus wrote Friar Antonio Arevalo Sanchez, OFM, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/signatures\/the-truth-of-fray-junipero\/\">Omnes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fray Jun\u00edpero -under the motto 'Always forward, never back' - dedicated his intelligence and energy to instill human dignity in the natives of Quer\u00e9taro and the two Californias. He did this through evangelical doctrine, civilizing progress and an exemplary life of patience, humility, poverty and enormous sacrifices, Fray Arevalo pointed out.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teresa Jornet Ibars naci\u00f3 el 9 de enero del a\u00f1o 1843, en Aytona, L\u00e9rida (Espa\u00f1a).
