Sister Teresita: the world's longest serving nun

Sister Teresita, 103 has spent 84 years as a cloistered nun. She joined the Cistercian convent of Buenafuente de Sistal, Guadalajara, Spain, as an 19-year-old on 16 April 1927 - which, coincidentally, was the same day that Pope Benedict XVI was born.

To mark her extraordinary achievement, the Pope plans to meet Sister Teresita when he travels to Spain for World Youth Day 2011.
