- Seguindo
La fondation du couvent à Palencia en 1580 a reçu le soutien de la ville depuis le début, avec l’abbé M. Álvaro de Mendoza, ami de la Sainte, à la tête. Thérèse visiterait deux fois encore la ville et le bon accueil des gens de Palencia est reflété sur la phrase qui lui est attribuée : "les gens de Palencia sont des gens de la plus bonne pâte".
