Feast of St Edith Stein: Morning Prayer August 9th With Mary Tyrell
Feast of Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)
Today we join Mary Tyrell for our morning prayer on the feast day of Edith Stein, born in 1891 in Poland. Converting to Catholicism, she became a Discalced Carmelite nun. In 1942, the arrest of all Jewish converts to Christianity was ordered, and Edith and her sister Rosa, both converts to Catholicism. On the 9th August 1942, she was executed in Auschwitz concentration camp. Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross was canonised by JPII in 1998, she is a co-patron of Europe and doctor of the church. Her friend said of her that she was “a witness to God’s presence in a world where God is absent.”
St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, pray for us! We pray for all those who suffer under political regimes and from racial prejudices.
Thank you for joining our prayer this morning.
