Teresa of Avila

Los Angeles Cathedral of Our Lady

Temple Street, between Grand and Hill.

The text reads: "Once, on the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady the Queen of Angels, the Lord was pleased to grant me this favor: in a rapture I was shown her ascent into heaven, the joy and solemnity with which she was received, and the place where she now is. It would not be possible for me to say how this happened. My spirit was filled with great bliss at the sight of such glory." Life, 39.26
