Summary/Abstract: The God with whom Saint Teresa experiments, lives and communicates in her writings is the Trinitarian God, who is present in her life and acts in her from the beginning to the fullness of plenitude. This indicates that the Saint lived a special relation with each one of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, and with the Holy Trinity as a complete unit. The study highlights the life of the Saint from a theological- biographical, her doxological existence, and the ordinary experience of feeling herself to be inhabited by the Trinity. Special emphasis is put on the reality of this Trinitarian inhabitation in the ordinary life of the believer, as the testimony of Saint Teresa illuminates it.
