Teresa de Jesús Jornet e Ibars was beatified on April 27, 1958 by Pope Pius XII, just fifty years after her death.
Pope Saint Paul VI canonized her on January 27, 1974. In the homily of the canonization mass, the Pope said: “Teresa Jornet had something, mysterious if you will, that attracts us. At her side we feel that ineffable presence of Life that sustained her and encouraged her in her efforts to consecrate herself to God and her neighbor, guiding her towards the concrete path of charitable assistance. The task of grace will always be something mysterious”.
