Saint Peter of Alcantara not only counselled the great Reformer of the Carmelites, St. Teresa of Avila, but frequently preached to Poor Clare nuns, offered Holy Mass, and ministered to them in other ways. He started a reform in the Poor Clare Order called the “Alcantarines,” although it only was in a few monasteries. “Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament has His hands full of graces, and He is ready to bestow them on anyone who asks for them.” – St. Peter of Alcantara
