Edith Stein "Immolation" for the Jewish Nation

⁣On August 9th, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of St. Edith Stein, otherwise known by many as St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. She made her own the words of scripture her own by taking up her cross and dying a glorious martyrdom for the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic faith. Her time on earth coincided with major political and religious turbulence, as she lived from the year 1891 to the year 1942, yet she persevered through her trials and tribulations with a deep sense of faith and a strong commitment to her vocation. Though we are living in a much different time in 2022, we can learn many lessons from her life of Virtue.
