Happy feast of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) who died on this day in Auschwitz.

"Almost certain that the regular opening of ourselves to him in word & sacrament is what creates in us many of the ways we share his love." My Homily for Sunday. I'm sure St Teresa Benedicta whom we celebrate today would agree. The Nazis killed her for being Jewish. Oppose hatred

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, pray for us!
