endowments Explanation: http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/AVILA.htm "Convinced that too many women under one roof made for relaxation of discipline, Teresa limited the number of nuns to thirteen; later, when houses were being founded with endowments and hence were not wholly dependent on alms, the number was increased to twenty-one. The prior general of the Carmelites, John Baptist Rubeo of Ravenna, visiting Avila in 1567, carried away a fine impression of Teresa's sincerity and prudent rule. He gave her full authority to found other convents on the same plan, in spite of the fact that St. Joseph's had been established without his knowledge." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2016-10-11 15:58:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to this reference, at first Teresa wanted the convents to be wholly dependent upon alms, but Dona Luisa persuaded her to accept an endowment: https://goo.gl/xsMJPD . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2016-10-11 15:59:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Probably, this should be endowment in the singular. |
