LISTEN | Morning Prayer - August 9, 2022 | Memorial of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, virgin and martyr

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart." - Mt. 11:29

Edith Stein was born of Jewish parents in 1891, becoming an influential philosopher following her extensive studies at major German universities. After her conversion to Catholicism, she became a major force in German intellectual life, entering the Discalced Carmelites in 1933, and taking the name Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. She was arrested by the Nazi regime in 1942, along with all Catholics of Jewish extraction and transported by cattle train to the death camp of Auschwitz. She died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz that same year.
