A Pathway Under the Gaze of Mary, the English translation of a Portuguese book published in 2013 by the nuns of the Carmel of St. Teresa in Coimbra, Portugal, is an engaging account of the life of this remarkable woman. The events surrounding the miraculous appearances of Our Lady are recounted in its pages via frequent references to a two-volume set of Sister Lucia’s Memoirsand a third book entitled “Calls” from the Message of Fatima which she published in her later years by special permission from Pope St. John Paul II. However, this biographical work is above all an intimate portrait of the hidden interior life of a soul dedicated to Our Lord and Our Lady as observed by the nuns with whom she spent the last 57 years of her life within the walls of a cloistered Carmelite monastery.
