Memorial Day August 9th Bibliography Novena of the Holy Spirit Edith Stein: An Historical Perspective with host Fr. Charles Connor Part 1 Part 2 Edith Stein Born on October 12, 1891, of Jewish parents, Siegried Stein and Auguste Courant, in Breslau, Germany, Edith Stein from her earliest years showed a great aptitude for learning, and by the time of the outbreak of World War I, she had studied philology and philosophy at the universities of Breslau and Goettingen. After the war, she resumed her higher studies at the University of Freiburg and was awarded her doctorate in philosophy Suma Cum Laude . She later became the assistant and collaborator of Professor Husserl, the famous founder of phenomenology, who greatly appreciated her brilliant mind. After her conversion, Edith spent her days teaching, lecturing, writing and translating, and she soon became known as a celebrated philosopher and author, but her own great longing was for the solitude and contemplation of Carmel, in which she could offer herself to God for her people. It was not until the Nazi persecution of the Jews brought her public activities and her influence in the Catholic world to a sudden close that her Benedictine spiritual director gave his approval to her entering the Discalced Carmelie Nuns’ cloistered community at Cologne-Lindenthal on 14 October 1933. The following April, Edith received the Habit of Carmel and the religious name of "Teresia Benedicta ac Cruce," and on Easter Sunday, 21 April 1935, she made her Profession of Vows.

Teresa Benedict of the Cross Edith Stein (1891-1942) nun, Discalced Carmelite, martyr photo "We bow down before the testimony of the life and death of Edith Stein, an outstanding daughter of Israel and at the same time a daughter of the Carmelite Order, Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, a personality who united within her rich life a dramatic synthesis of our century. It was the synthesis of a history full of deep wounds that are still hurting ... and also the synthesis of the full truth about man. All this came together in a single heart that remained restless and unfulfilled until it finally found rest in God." These were the words of Pope John Paul II when he beatified Edith Stein in Cologne on 1 May 1987. Who was this woman? Edith Stein was born in Breslau on 12 October 1891, the youngest of 11, as her family were celebrating Yom Kippur, that most important Jewish festival, the Feast of Atonement. "More than anything else, this helped make the youngest child very precious to her mother." Being born on this day was like a foreshadowing to Edith, a future Carmelite nun. Edith's father, who ran a timber business, died when she had only just turned two. Her mother, a very devout, hard-working, strong-willed and truly wonderful woman, now had to fend for herself and to look after the family and their large business. However, she did not succeed in keeping up a living faith in her children. Edith lost her faith in God. "I consciously decided, of my own volition, to give up praying," she said.

8. Edith Stein - Convert, Nun, Martyr By Laura Garcia. Biographical sketch from longer essay edith stein on Women. http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/religion/re0001.html

Home Email This Article Print LAURA GARCIA Edith Stein Edith Stein is one of those people whose entire life seems to be a sign. She was born on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, in 1891 in Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland), the youngest of eleven children in a devout Jewish family. During the summer of 1921, at the age of twenty-nine, Stein was vacationing with friends but found herself alone for the evening. She picked up, seemingly by chance, the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila, founder of the Carmelite Order. She read it in one sitting, decided that the Catholic faith was true, and went out the next day to buy a missal and a copy of the Catholic catechism. She was baptized the following January, but her desire immediately to enter the Carmelites was delayed for a time. Her advisers saw that her conversion and claustration would be a double blow to her mother, and they knew the Church could benefit enormously from her contributions as a speaker and writer. While on a trip during Holy Week of 1933, Edith stopped in Cologne at the Carmelite convent during the service for Holy Thursday. She attended it with a friend, and by her own account, the homily moved her very deeply. She wrote: I told our Lord that I knew it was His cross that was now being placed upon the Jewish people; that most of them did not understand this, but that those who did would have to take it up willingly in the name of all. I would do that. At the end of the service, I was certain that I had been heard. But what this carrying of the cross was to consist in, that I did not yet know.

In 1938 she fled the growing Nazi pressures and entered the Carmelite the convent in Echt, Holland, but this proved inadequate to keep her from harm. On July 26, 1942 Hitler ordered the arrest of all non-Aryan Roman Catholics and so she, along with her sister Rosa (who had also converted to Catholicism), she was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Auschwitz where she was sent to the gas chambers with other Jews.

EDITH STEIN Ultimogenita di undici figli, di cui tre morti prima della sua nascita, Edith Stein venne alla luce a Breslavia il 12 Ottobre 1891 da Siegfried e Auguste Courant. Già i primi dati biografici permettono di cogliere elementi che risulteranno significativi nella vita e nell'opera di questa pensatrice. Nella data della sua nascita, infatti, gli appartenenti alla religione ebraica (tra cui la famiglia Stein) celebravano quell'anno la festa dello Yom Kippur , dedicata all'espiazione e alla richiesta di perdono per i peccati. E il luogo della sua nascita, nella Prussia orientale, indica l'altro fattore che, oltre all'ebraismo, influenzò profondamente la gioventù steiniana, ossia l'educazione ai valori nazionalistici della Germania che era stata da poco riunificata a partire proprio dalle terre in cui Stein nasceva. Perso il padre in tenera età, la gioventù della futura filosofa fu influenzata particolarmente dalla imponente figura della madre, esempio di rettitudine morale e di dedizione alla famiglia e al lavoro, nello sforzo di condurre da sola l'impresa un tempo del marito e di far studiare tutti i figli. Edith si segnalò ben presto per le sue doti intellettuali, primeggiando in tutti i gradi di scuola sino all'università, ma fu a tratti anche investita da profonde crisi esistenziali, decidendo per un breve periodo di abbandonare gli studi. Dal 1911 al 1913 frequentò comunque per quattro semestri i corsi di psicologia e germanistica presso l'università di Breslavia. Qui, da una formazione giovanile improntata su modelli prevalentemente romantici (

When World War I broke out she had to stop her education, but resumed her studies when the fighting stopped. She received her doctorate in philosophy suma cum laude from the University of Freiburg. In 1922, Edith Stein converted to Catholicism after reading the autobiography of Saint Teresa of Avila. She soon became a celebrated philosopher, author, translator, and lecturer.

Home Our Spirituality Our Carmelite Saints SAINT EDITH STEIN SAINT EDITH STEIN (1891-1941), Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, was born into a Jewish family at Breslau, then a German town, now in Poland. With a hunger for truth she studied philosophy and after gaining a Doctorate summa cum laude (literally, with highest praise) she embarked on an academic career. A period of atheism was followed by a search ending in her conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1922 after reading the life of St Teresa. At the same time she maintained a lifelong love for her Jewish heritage and people. Until Hitler and the Nazis came to power in Germany she exercised a very active apostolate of service to the Church: speaking, writing and teaching on matters philosophical, theological and feminist. Her apostolic zeal took a new direction in 1933 when she entered the Carmel at Cologne taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Prayer now became her sole work for the Church and for her suffering Jewish people. For her safety she was later transferred to the Dutch Carmel of Echt. There she, with other converts from Judaism, was arrested by the Nazis in retaliation for the Dutch bishops outspoken condemnation of anti-Semitism. As she left her Carmel for the gas chambers of Auschwitz she said: 'I am going for my people'. She died there in August 1941. Her feast day is kept on 9 August.

Edith Stein's Humor and Compassion by John Sullivan Summer 1991, Vol.43 No.2, pp. 142-160 John Sullivan, OCD is currently provincial of the Washington Province of Discalced Carmelites. He obtained a doctoral degree in worship and sacramental theology from the Institut Catholique in 1973. He has been for the past several years English-language editor of the Collected Works of Edith Stein and of Carmelite Studies. The life and writings of Edith Stein, philosopher and Carmelite nun, reveal a subtle sense of humor and exhibit a selfless spirit of compassion and concern for others. MOST experts on Edith Stein would agree that all her professional activities, philosophizing and religious questing had a deeper understanding of the human spirit as their preeminent goal. Her own best summary of this preoccupation was to say, as she did in her autobiography, Life in a Jewish Family, that "the constitution of the human person was something personally close to my heart" (397). This made her someone who, in the words of the neo-scholastic philosopher Daniel Feuling, "had a yearning to attain to the deeper sense of our human being and existence that kept her constantly on the watch, both personally and as a scholar, for the great interconnections which permeate existence in men and women, in the world and in being itself" (162). The prospects and the projects of the human scene were what sustained her interest as she worked to increase human freedom around her. Those familiar with her life and writings also recognize that she seldom spared herself in her "incessant search for the truth," as Pope John Paul II said in his homily for her beatification (300). They would agree that she demonstrated a great deal of earnest zeal, intellectual rigor as well as vigor, and unflagging seriousness in the task. Such traits are certainly admirable. Yet they could easily convey an image of Edith Stein as a "dull" girl, "all work and no play." At least one European Stein expert seems to suggest that the photos from a particular phase of her life betray a "melancholic" Edith.
