Tereza yakundaga Bikira Mariya cyane ku buryo buri
munsi yavugaga ishapule. Amaze imyaka 12 yapfushije nyina. Nuko aragenda
apfukama imbere y’ishusho ya Bikira Mariya yari iwabo, amusaba kwemera kumubera
Nyina, nuko Tereza amusezeranya kuzamubera umwana mwiza. Amaze kugira imyaka

Yaranditse ati : « natangiye kwambara neza no kwiyitaho kugira ngo ngaragare
cyane. Ibiganza byanjye n’imisatsi yanjye nabyitagaho cyane kandi n’imibavu
yanjye nkayitaho… »
Tereza avuga ko mubyara we w’umukobwa ari we wari
watangiye gutuma araruka akohoka ku byaha bimujyana kure y’Imana. Ariko Tereza
yanditse avuga ko yangaga ibikorwa by’ibiterasoni. Ise amaze kubona ko Tereza
azakoza isoni umuryango we, yamwohereje mu kigo cy’ababikira ba Bikira Mariya
ugaba inema ahitwa Avila mu w’1531. Tereza byaramugoye kuba ahantu adakora ibyo

Tereza yafashe umwanya wo kubitekerezaho, nyuma aza

n’ibigeragezo by’amoko anyuranye kandi bikomeye: indwara, gushakashaka Imana
akumva imuri kure, kunanirwa gusenga,… Kuko Yezu yashakaga kumusukura wese wese

Kuva icyo gihe Tereza yumvise aturije mu Mana rwose,
umutima we waratwawe n’Imana gusa, agakunda ibiremwa kubera Imana gusa.
Urukundo yari afitiye Imana rwatumye ahinyura amategeko y’urwo rugo kuko bari

byinshi kandi byigisha cyane bituma ashyirwa mu « barimu ba Kiliziya ».
