The Feast of Edith Stein, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

We unite to prepare for the Feast Day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, most commonly known by her birth name Edith Stein. Edith Stein was a Jewish convert to Catholicism turned Carmelite nun who was martyred in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz in 1942. The life of this modern saint of the 20th century can be expressed by her courageous search for truth, desire for knowledge and understanding, deep faith in the power of the cross, and fidelity to the Church. This playlist contains a short bio about St. Teresa from the Vatican archives, a novena to the holy Spirit written by St. Teresa herself, as well as a prayer to ask for this great saint’s intercession. St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Pray for us!
