| description | <p>The fifth centenary of the birth of Teresa of Jesus is an appropriate occasion to consider her ephemeral but intense relations with Francisco de Borja. Although they were two different historical characters, both were protagonists of a troubled period that transformed Europe, and were united in their sense of modernity. The image of Borja we find reflected in Mother Teresa’s heart-mirror do not depict the Duke of Gandia as someone stuck in the medieval past. This conclusion is, thus, one more reason to reexamine the biography of Francisco de Borja, who was a saint without renouncing to his polemical family.</p><p> </p> |
