Edith Stein
Today is the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross who was a Jewish woman turned Carmelite nun, martyred in Auschwitz. She has written extensively on the mysteries of our Faith and was a great philosopher. This saint is patroness of martyrs, those who've lost their parents, Europe and World Youth Day.O my God, fill my soul with holy joy, courage and strength to serve You. Enkindle Your love in me and then walk with me along the next stretch of road before me. I do not see very far ahead, but when I have arrived where the horizon now closes down, a new prospect will open before me, and I shall meet it with peace.
-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
