She was the President of the Association of St. Teresa in Spain at that time and was accompanied by her Superior, the Prioress of Cerro de los Angeles and Sr Mary Helen of the Mother of God.

Some Prioress asked her repeatedly to go to Rome and present the text to the Holy Father but she resisted and only gave in when she received a formal invitation from the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Religious Life:

It will be a pleasure for Cardinal Hamer to see you on November 5th.
