Hagiography
A voice-over text for a guided tour of one of St Teresa´s foundations. This is at the top of the text, by way of title. Probably very obvious, but I´m a bit of a heathen myself! In case it doesn´t reproduce, it´s JM and JT separated by a cross symbol.
Thanks in advance!

"We received a signed and sealed document from the Mother Superior as follows:
"J.M.J.T. = Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Teresa
Monastery of Saint Teresa
Cloistered Discalced Nuns
Coimbra
The Peace of Christ
I, Sister Maria Celina of Jesus Crucified, Prioress of this Carmel, declare that, when Sister Maria Lucia sends a printed card, on which she accuses the reception of some letter, promising to pray of the intentions of the person who has written, this does not mean that she approves of the conduct of the same person or movement that they may belong to.
Note that many times she does not even get to know the totality of the content of letters, especially when it is in a foreign language.
Carmel of Saint Teresa, 22nd of February, 2001

Sister Maria Celina, icd = Discalced Carmelite Sister"

ok, seriously, I've known the answer all along so I feel mean. It stands for Teresa as in St. Teresa of Avila. How do I know? Because I've read the letters of certain sants who were discalced carmelites and sometimes they write JMJT, whereas other times they write the whole thing out. And it can't be St. Therese because even St. Therese does this in some of her letters.

In which case I don't think you need to change it for the English version.
