The Virgin Made Her a Promise That Seemed Impossible - Blessed María Inés Teresa Arias

In the darkest hour of Mexico's persecution, when churches burned and priests were hunted, a young woman heard the impossible: the Virgin Mary herself appeared and promised she would found an Institute that would spread throughout the entire world.

This is the true story of Blessed María Inés Teresa Arias (1904-1981), a Mexican nun who fled to exile in Los Angeles, received a mystical vision on December 12, 1930, and against all odds, founded the Missionary Clarisans of the Blessed Sacrament—an Institute now present in 15 nations across 5 continents.

From the horrors of the Cristero War to the halls of the Vatican, from a refugee monastery to missions in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, discover how one woman's faith transformed millions of lives through "missionaries through contemplation."
