Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 412The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the CrossSaint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is a Patron Saint of: Converts to ChristianityEurope Learn more about Saint Benedicta of the Cross!

We live in a time when many people believe that the existence of God is unknowable, that human reason is incapable of knowing whether God exists or that God does not exist.  This is not something new. Edith Stein, the towering intellectual saint and martyr the Church honors today, lost her faith in God during her teenage years, despite being brought up in a devout Jewish home. She was the youngest of eleven children. Her widowed mother encouraged all her children to think critically and encouraged them in their studies.  Edith's studies were interrupted by World War I. She became a volunteer nurse at an infectious disease hospital in her home town in Germany. Confronting the suffering of her patients must have been a major factor in choosing the topic of empathy for her doctoral thesis. Even with graduating summa cum laude from the University of Freiburg, she was denied a teaching certificate due to her gender. Instead, Edith became a teaching assistant to her university professor, the renowned philosopher and mathematician, Edmund Husserl. .  Edith was constantly writing and studying, but it was not until she read the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila that her life changed dramatically. She was moved to convert to Catholicism and, eventually, to enter into the convent of the Discalced Carmelites. She took the name, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, honoring her patron saint.  Her sister, Rosa, also converted and became a tertiary of the Carmelites, living outside the convent, but assisting the sisters in their mission. During the turbulent years of World War II, the leadership of the Carmelites grew concerned for the safety of St. Teresa Benedicta and her sister. They transferred them from Cologne to the Netherlands, thinking that their Jewish backgrounds would not under as much scrutiny. Soon after their transfer, however, the Dutch bishops wrote a strongly worded public letter condemning the abuses of the Nazi regime. Edith Stein also wrote a letter to Pope Pius XI, pleading that Pope must make a similar public statement against the Nazis. It is not known whether the Pope read the letter or not.   It was not long after the Dutch bishops letter that the Gestapo rounded up 244 people of Jewish descent in the Netherlands, including Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and her sister, Rosa. They were sent to Auschwitz and murdered just a week later in the gas chambers, probably on August 9th, 1942. In a statement to her Carmelite superiors, Edith wrote: “I beg the Lord to take my life and my death…as atonement for the unbelief of the Jewish People, and that the Lord will be received by his own people and his kingdom shall come in glory, for the salvation of Germany and the peace of the world…”  Even after her arrest, she was offered an escape plan, but refused, stating: “If somebody intervened at this point and took away (her) chance to share in the fate of (her) brothers and sisters, that would be utter annihilation.” The writings of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross fill 17 volumes. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1999 and is one of six patrons saints of Europe.  St. Teresa Benedicta, pray for us. Blessings, Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Fue una filósofa y religiosa alemana de origen judío, víctima y mártir de la persecución nazi. Su obra filosófica entiende la esencia femenina a la luz del fundamento de la vocación divina del hombre y la mujer. La vida de esta mujer está marcada por una constante búsqueda de la verdad y ver en el sufrimiento un significado de abandono en Dios. Su vida nos ayuda a entender que a través de la luz podemos abrazar la Cruz de Cristo, y así darle un significado a las vicisitudes de nuestra vida.Con tu ayuda podremos continuar con este proyecto: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GZMHJDMXG8L22&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabzPiBLoj2NefLbiwGBbXS1Ckn9xG8o9stwEGRXwQnsnoRllvac_CUJ_cU_aem_oPr5pU3Gmbo2qA3t6j-zkg

La mártir del amor.

Le letture bibliche per le feste dei santi hanno lo scopo di farci comprendere come questi amici di Dio hanno vissuto e incarnato eroicamente la Parola di Dio con perfetta coerenza. Santa Teresa Benedetta della Croce, Edith Stein, Vergine e martire, è rimasta affascinata da una voce misteriosa che l'ha convinta e avvinta con profondi e inscindibili legami di amore allo Sposo divino. È questa in sintesi la storia della sua conversione e della sua piena adesione a Cristo. «Ecco, la condurrò nel deserto». Sì, proprio da un dialogo e da una proposta divina di intimità sgorga la convinta risposta di un totale dono di sé al Signore. «Parlerò al suo cuore. Mi risponderà come nei giorni della sua giovinezza». È un vero atto sponsale con cui in antico Dio solennemente legava a se il suo popolo con una alleanza perenne: «Io sono il tuo Dio, tu sei il mio popolo». Era una promessa di reciproca fedeltà sempre mantenuta da Dio, molte volte tradita e disattesa dal popolo eletto. Ora alle anime predilette e pronte a rispondere, il Signore dice amorevolmente: «Ti farò mia sposa nella giustizia e nel diritto, nell'amore e nella benevolenza, ti farò mia sposa nella fedeltà e tu conoscerai il Signore». La sposa che "conosce", ama e si sente amata è vigilante e trepidante quando è in attesa dello sposo, come le vergini sagge del brano evangelico. Poiché la sposa è ignara dell'ora dell'arrivo dell'amato, ha con se ardente la lampada dell'amore e un buon rifornimento di olio, che significa la perseveranza, la vigilanza e la prontezza nell'ascolto. Sono le condizioni per entrare a far parte del gioioso corteo nuziale degli eletti e poi per essere ammessi con l'abito nuziale al festoso banchetto. «Più tardi arrivarono anche le altre vergini e incominciarono a dire: "Signore, signore, aprici!". Ma egli rispose: "In verità io vi dico: non vi conosco". Dinanzi a Dio non sono mai ammessi colpevoli ritardi: Dobbiamo affermare sempre il suo primato nella nostra vita. «Vegliate dunque, perché non sapete né il giorno né l'ora».

Am Gedenktag von Edith Stein erinnert Bruder Paulus an die Verbundenheit zwischen Christen und Juden: „Sie sind unsere älteren Geschwister.“

Edith Stein, filósofa y religiosa carmelita alemana nos ha dejado la reflexión "Quien busca la verdad busca a Dios, sea de ello consciente o no", así que en el programa del día de hoy, aprenderemos de la mano de Lupita Venegas, a conocer las propuestas de Edith Stein para mejorar nuestra vida, sólo aquí en Enamórate. ¡No te lo puedes perder!

8/6/25 - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, born Edith Stein (1891–1942), was a brilliant Jewish philosopher who became a Catholic nun and martyr at Auschwitz. Raised in a devout Jewish family in Germany, Edith lost her faith in her teens and became an atheist while studying philosophy under Edmund Husserl, becoming one of the leading minds in phenomenology. Her conversion began after reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Ávila, leading to her baptism in 1922. In 1933, she entered the Discalced Carmelite Order and took the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, offering her life as a sacrifice for her people and for peace. Arrested by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz, she was martyred on August 9, 1942. She was later canonized by Pope St. John Paul II in 1998 and declared a co-patroness of Europe.

Episode 185 - Special guest Geralyn Rea is back on the podcast to discuss the inspiring life of Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, better known as Edith Stein. In this episode, Nathanael Rea and his wife Geralyn explore Edith Stein's journey from a brilliant academic to a Carmelite nun, her profound insights on femininity, and her enduring legacy as a spiritual mother. Discover how her writings continue to influence and inspire, even in the face of adversity.

Edith Stein sucht Zeit ihres Lebens mutig nach Wahrheit, findet zum katholischen Glauben, bleibt dabei ihrer jüdischen Herkunft verbunden. Trotz Diskriminierung als Frau und Jüdin bleibt sie standhaft, baut Brücken zwischen Glauben, Wissenschaft und Kulturen und wurde so zu einem Vorbild für Mut, Versöhnung und Dialog.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”We explore Father Gabriele Amorth's book "God Most Powerful," which serves as a practical handbook for spiritual warfare. Rather than becoming obsessed with evil, Father Amorth encourages us to focus on strengthening our relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, and embracing truth. The best defense against darkness isn't fear but cultivating goodness and wonder in our daily lives.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss how young people today are desperately seeking meaning in a culture that often reduces humans to mere biological accidents. As one psychiatrist observed, "Young men will crawl over broken glass to find meaning." This search becomes particularly challenging when our society distorts language and rejects fundamental realities about human nature. St. Edith Stein's profound wisdom offers guidance: "Speak the truth in love and love people in the truth. One without the other is a destructive lie."Michael also reveals how developing relationships with saints provides spiritual allies in times of darkness. His simple prayer during the worst moments—"You're God, I'm not, please help"—offers immediate relief by acknowledging the divine relationship that sustains us.Our guest Michael Lichens, author and editor with a passion for overlooked aspects of Christian history, walks us through this harrowing yet ultimately redemptive story. Purchase Link: God Most Powerful, By Fr.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek Over vrijheid van Timothy Snyder. We kregen deze Nederlandse vertaling van de uitgever Balans. Dank je wel. Wat een geweldig boek. Nadat we eerder het boek Over tierannie van Snyder lazen en hebben besproken was dit boek andere koek. Dit boek van 380 pagina's koste meer moeite om te lezen door de andere stijl, maar dat maakte het zeker geen slechter boek. Door het boek ben ik me gaan realiseren hoe belangrijk vrijheid is en wat dit inhoud voor verschillende mensen. Verder leerde ik het belangrijke verschil tussen negatieve en positieve vrijheid, vrijheid van vs vrijheid om. Hierbij erken ik dat ik zelf veel geluk heb gehad met de hoeveel vrijheid die ik mijn leven heb gekregen, door de plek waar en de tijd waarin ik ben geboren. Timonthy Snyder is hoogleraar geschiedenis aan Yale en medewerkers van het Instituut voor Menswetenschappen in Wenen. Door zijn onderzoek van Duitsland in de tweede wereldoorlog en de USSR, zijn tijd die hij verbleef in Oekranie, Polen en Rusland geeft hij interessante ervaringen uit de praktijk en vergelijkt dit regelmatig met de toestand en het effect op de VS. Hierbij komt de VS er meestal niet positief uit. Het boek is opgebouwd rondom de vijf elementen die voor Snyder cruciaal zijn voor vrijheid van de mens. Inleiding: Vrijheid Soevereiniteit Onvoorspelbaarheid Mobiliteit Feitelijkheid Solidariteit Besluit: Bestuur Voorwoord Vrijheid is niet alleen de afwezigheid van het kwade, maar de aanwezigheid van het goede. Met dit boek probeert Snyder om vrijheid te definiëren. Of we vrij zijn of wordden, hangt vooral af van de daden van anderen. soevereiniteit - aangeleerde vermogen om keuzes te maken; onvoorspelbaarheid - de kracht om natuurlijke regelmatigheden in te zetten voor persoonlijk doeleinden; mobiliteit - het vermogen om je op basis van bepaalde waarden door ruimte en tijd te bewegen; feitelijkheid - de mogelijkheid om grip te krijgen op de wereld en haar te veranderen; solidariteit - de erkenning dat iedereen recht heeft op vrijheid. Een soeverein persoon combineert zelfgekozen waarde met de buitenwereld om iets nieuws te scheppen. Denkers: Frantz Fanon, Vaclav Havel, Leszak Kolakowski, Edith Stein en Simone Weil. Inleiding: Vrijheid Het hoofdstuk begint met een verhaal over de Liberty Bell. Snyder laat zien dat vrijheid niet hetzelfde is als een overheid die zich nergens mee mag bemoeien. Het inruilen van vrijheid voor veiligheid, met meer toezicht en bewaking. Op p41 wordt oligarchische overwinning van Trump genoemd, met hulp van Poetin en geld (te weinig belasting betalen op de erfenis). Vrijheid van meningsuiting is ook positief, een persoonlijke keuze. Vrije wil is een kwestie van karakter. Soevereiniteit Het verschil tussen Leib en Körper (Edith Stein - Eerste Wereldoorlog) We vergaren zelf kennis wanneer we anderen erkennen. Politieke systemen die op gericht zijn op vrijheid om doen het beter dan die gericht zijn op vrijheid van. p60 Het lichaam zien als bron van winst (de gezondheidszorg in de VS). Stein het belang van empathie om vrij te zijn. Vrijheid begint met soevereiniteit en soevereiniteit heeft met lichamen te maken. Iedere vrije volwassene heeft als kind veelvuldig hulp gehad. Moederschap hoort bij vrijheid. Onvoorspelbaarheid Havel: onvrijheid staat gelijk aan voorspelbaarheid. Door samen te werken scheppen mensen onvoorspelbaarheid en vreugde in de wereld. Vrije mensen zijn voorspelbaar voor zichzelf, maar onvoorspelbaar voor autoriteiten en machines. Machines worden gebouwd voor waarschijnlijkheid en maken mensen onvrij. De libertariërs uit Silicon Valley houden ons een nieuwe wereld voor, om dan te zeggen dat er geen alternatieven zijn (Ai), en dat we daarmee ons leven naar een scherm hebben verplaatst. Aristoteles: wanneer we oordelen over welke waarde van toepassing is in welke situatie, dan oen we wat juist is.

Continuing on The Problem of Empathy. What does it mean to say that we know other people's mental states "non-primordially"?

On The Problem of Empathy (1917). What is empathy, and what is its significance? Stein pictures empathy as a dynamic process that involves what Scheler called sympathy but goes beyond this. Your don't just take the other person's feeling as our object of contemplation, but in doing so, your enter into it (while still not confusing it with YOUR feeling), this relating to it "non-primordially."

We discuss "On the Problem of Empathy," ch. 4 "Empathy as the Comprehension of Mental Persons," starting with section 2, "The Mental Subject" and into section 3, "The Constitution of the Person in Emotional Experiences." We're trying to figure out what these early 20th century German phenomenologists think a "person" is as someone we're able to empathize or sympathize with and which is morally worthy of respect. Stein does this by saying what the "I" (the self) is. It is the thing that "has" experiences, but also something that we understand in terms of a network of motivations, which are different than mere causes, in that they're supposed to be rational. Our self gains definition, Stein says, when we have emotional experiences, which can of course be shallow and undirected (mere moods) or can be very deep and self-revelatory.

Timmerie explores what actually brings women joy, and it’s NOT what modern feminism is selling. The Big Lie: “Empowerment” Through Motherhood Rejection International Women’s Day rolls around, and social media is flooded with the same old messaging: women are "empowered" by abortion, contraception, surrogacy, and even daycare. Timmerie argues that these aren’t liberating at all; in fact, the greatest injustice against women is the "destruction and exploitation of motherhood." Psychotherapist Erica Komisar (who’s not even Catholic, mind you) has been putting out research that proves what we already know deep down: kids need their moms, especially in their early years. Yet, this truth is wildly unpopular in the corporate-driven culture. Wait… Women Are Happier Doing “Domestic” Things? If social media trends are any indicator, women are rediscovering joy in the very things that used to be considered "burdens": knitting, homemaking, cooking, homesteading. There’s a deep craving for a return to home and family life, even if the world still tries to make it seem regressive. Science Agrees: Moms at Home Are Happier (Even If It’s Hard) Studies from the Institute for Family Studies and other sources show that stay-at-home moms experience higher life satisfaction and rarely regret their decision, even though being home is demanding. Sure, secular studies try to spin it like being at home is isolating, but what they leave out is that these same women report deep fulfillment. Motherhood is tough, but it’s also full of meaning. Timmerie, a mom of (almost) three, totally gets it. The stress is real (toddlers are relentless), but the reward is deeper than any job title. God doesn’t promise easy, but He does promise abundance. That abundance is often tied to embracing the maternal call, whether it’s biological or spiritual motherhood. So… What’s the Secret to Women’s Happiness? Living in line with God’s design. Motherhood, whether physical, spiritual, or vocational, is at the core of a woman’s identity. Even women in STEM or corporate roles thrive most when they can nurture others in some way. That’s why we see more women gravitating toward careers like teaching, nursing, and caregiving. It’s built into their very souls. As St. Edith Stein put it, “A woman’s soul is fashioned as a place in which other souls unfold.” The culture tells women that happiness comes from career success, independence, and rejecting traditional roles. The actual data: more importantly, women’s lived experiences, say otherwise. True joy comes from embracing who women were made to be. Bottom line: Ladies, your deepest fulfillment isn’t in fighting against your nature; it’s in embracing it. What do you think... Do you see this shift happening around you?

Friendship should be a source of support, joy, and connection. But sometimes, even in the closest of friendships, drama & gossip can creep in, threatening to disrupt the harmony you've worked so hard to build. Whether it's whispered behind closed doors, played out in group texts, or shared over coffee, gossip can be toxic and draining. So, how do you handle it without losing your cool or compromising your values? Here are a few strategies for navigating drama and gossip with your female friends while preserving your peace and integrity. 1. Set Clear Boundaries First and foremost, set boundaries around gossip. If a friend starts talking behind someone's back or filling you in on unnecessary drama, be upfront about your discomfort. You don't need to engage in every conversation, especially when it doesn't serve you or others in a positive way. 2. Don't Participate, But Don't Ignore It's one thing to stay out of the drama, but it's another to act like it's not happening at all. If you're in a group where gossip is circulating, it's important to take a stand—without making it into a confrontation. Instead of just zoning out or ignoring the conversation, try to redirect the energy toward something more productive. 3. Communicate Honestly and Directly When you sense that drama is brewing, addressing it head-on with the person involved can be the most mature way to handle it. If there's tension with a friend, or if you've overheard something you didn't like, don't let it fester. Avoid passive-aggressive behavior and instead have an open, honest conversation. 4. Avoid Taking Sides Too Quickly It's natural to want to stand by your friends when they're upset or when someone else is the target of the gossip. But jumping into the drama by choosing sides can escalate things unnecessarily. Instead, try to remain neutral and listen with empathy to both sides of the story. Sometimes, drama and conflicts are more about misunderstandings or miscommunications than about real issues. 5. Practice Empathy and Encourage Growth Drama often arises from deeper insecurities, unmet needs, or feelings of jealousy. In those moments, try to practice empathy—both for your friends and for yourself. Understand that people aren't perfect and that sometimes they act out of frustration or fear. If you see a friend consistently engaging in negative behavior, try to have a gentle conversation with her about her actions. 6. Lead By Example When you make the choice to rise above drama, you set the tone for your friendships, and others are more likely to follow your lead. Stay true to your values and be consistent in your actions—because ultimately, kindness and integrity always win out over negativity. A Word of Wisdom “A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; she who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance her worth. A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as she who fears God finds; for she who fears God behaves accordingly, and her friend will be like himself.” (Sirach 6:14-17) True friendship is about loyalty, respect, and integrity. When drama and gossip threaten to tear apart the bonds between you and your friends, hold firm to the qualities that make a friendship strong: faithfulness, honesty, and a heart that seeks to understand and heal. And as Edith Stein beautifully wrote, “The woman's soul is fashioned as a shelter in which other souls may unfold.” A true friendship is a safe space where souls can thrive, free from judgment or negativity. By fostering an environment of kindness and openness, we allow ourselves and those around us to grow into the best versions of who we are. Friendships are meant to enrich our lives, not drain them. It's important to recognize when drama and gossip start to chip away at the foundation of a friendship, and to take action when necessary. By setting boundaries, being honest, practicing empathy, and leading by example, you can help create a more positive and supportive environment for yourself and your friends. Ultimately, the best friendships are the ones that uplift, support, and inspire you—ones that lead you to Christ and help you be more YOU.

Si con Nietszche podemos decir que se escribió el último capítulo de la Filosofía occidental (y por lo tanto de una disciplina respetada y con un puesto relevante en la cosmovisión social), la agonía de la filosofía materializada en el siglo XX toma a Edith Stein como una síntesis metafórica con un fin trágico. 📗ÍNDICE 0.

Edith Stein, eine Frau, die mutig zwischen Welten wandelte: Philosophin, Frauenrechtlerin, Jüdin, Christin, Nonne und Märtyrerin. Ihre Lebensgeschichte ist ein Zeugnis von tiefer intellektueller Suche und spirituellem Erwachen – und zugleich ein Spiegel der dunkelsten Stunden Europas. Geboren in eine jüdische Familie, durchlief sie eine beeindruckende akademische Karriere, bevor sie zum katholischen Glauben konvertierte und in den Karmel eintrat. Doch ihr Leben endete tragisch in Auschwitz – ein Opfer des Nationalsozialismus, das bis heute als Symbol für Wahrheitssuche, Glauben und Menschlichkeit erinnert wird. Wer war diese außergewöhnliche Frau, die Grenzen überschritt und Generationen inspirierte?

Friends of the Rosary, Accompanying Jesus and the Twelve Disciples were women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others. In this journey, these women provided for Jesus and the disciples out of their resources and were helping to proclaim the Kingdom of God, as we read today in the Gospel (Luke 8:1–3). Jesus, breaking the social conventions of that time, invited women to participate fully in the life of discipleship. Great women have followed Jesus over the centuries. Across history, we find role models like St. Monica, Clare of Assisi, Terese of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Edith Stein, Mother Teresa of Kolkata, Faustina Kowalska, and many others.

Timmerie talks about St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, who most of us know as St. Edith Stein. Her story is nothing short of amazing, taking her from atheism all the way to sainthood. Talk about a transformation!   The Journey of a Lifetime    Edith Stein started life in a Jewish family. As she grew up, she went through a phase where she lost her faith entirely and became an atheist. Can you imagine that? But Edith was a thinker—a real philosopher at heart. Her search for the truth eventually led her to Catholicism. One of the pivotal moments in her journey was reading the works of St. Teresa of Ávila, which profoundly moved her and guided her to the Catholic faith. She didn't just stop there; she went all in and joined the Carmelite Order along with her sister. How incredible is that?   A Philosopher and Pioneer    St. Edith Stein wasn't just any nun; she was a brilliant philosopher. She wrote extensively about women, their education, and their roles in the workplace and society. Her essays dive deep into the soul of a woman and the unique differences between men and women. If you haven't read her work, you're missing out on some profound insights.   Embracing the Cross    One of the most powerful concepts from St. Edith's teachings is what she called the "science of the cross." She believed that part of our mission as Christians is to be "fastened to the cross" with Christ. She didn't just talk the talk; she walked the walk. Her journey led her to the ultimate sacrifice—she died in Auschwitz during World War II, a fate she faced with unwavering faith.   Her writings are a treasure trove of wisdom. One striking quote from her is: "The path to glory leads through suffering and the cross for everyone." It's a reminder that our faith journey isn't always easy, but it's incredibly rewarding.   Living the Faith, Day by Day    Edith's life teaches us that loving others is a true measure of our love for God. She said, "Our love of human beings is the measure of our love of God." It's easy to love in the good times, but real love shines through during the challenges.   So, if you're ever feeling overwhelmed by your own cross, remember St. Edith Stein. Her life is a testament to the joy and fulfillment that come from embracing our faith fully, even in the face of suffering.   Let's be inspired by her example. Dive into her writings, let her thoughts stir your heart, and most importantly, embrace your own journey with the same courage and faith.

Feminism doesn't affect you in any way, right? Well, maybe it does, in a sneaky sort of way.    Timmerie recently had a great conversation with Dr. Carrie Gress, author of The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Destroyed Us. Together, they explored a critical question: How do we combat modern feminism from within? Some content may not be suitable for all listeners.    Key Points from the Podcast:   Unmasking Feminism's Anti-Catholic Roots: Timmerie and Dr. Gress reveal that many feminist icons held anti-Catholic views, with some even dabbling in Satanism, Wicca, and witchcraft. Scary! Feminism's stance often clashes with the Church's teachings on abortion, marriage, and gender. It's concerning to really consider the impact feminism has had on society, and it affects women in many subtle ways.   Feminism's Cultural Impact: The influence of feminism permeates our culture, affecting everything from media and education to norms within marriages. It's everywhere and it's so hard to get away from! This can really mess up relationships with your spouse and children, promoting a "no-contact" culture devoid of responsibility and connection.    The Anti-Mary Exposed: Dr. Gress' previous works, including The Anti-Mary Exposed, show how the virtues of Our Lady are so different from modern feminist ideals. Our Lady is all about humility, wisdom, and grace—qualities often rejected by contemporary culture.    Feminism and Family Dynamics: It's sad how feminism encourages women to treat their husbands like children, making it all about control and dominance. This undermines the natural, respectful partnership intended in marriage.    Looking to Our Lady: Our Lady is the ultimate model for women, embodying virtues that challenge the feminist narrative. She's the one that women should aspire to be.    Finding Role Models: Finding modern role models who live out these virtues is key. These women, whether in daily life or historical figures like St. Edith Stein, can guide our society toward a more fulfilling, faith-aligned existence.    Action Steps:   Reflect on Our Lady's Virtues: Compare your life and choices to the virtues of Our Lady. Are there areas influenced by feminist ideals that need to change?   Seek Wisdom and Grace: Embrace practices like silent prayer to open yourself to God's graces, allowing His wisdom to guide your actions and relationships.   Read and Learn: Explore Dr. Gress' works such as The End of Woman and Theology of Home series to deepen your understanding and find practical ways to integrate these insights into your daily life.    Final Thought: True fulfillment for women lies not in the aggressive, control-driven feminism promoted by modern culture, but in embracing the virtues and wisdom exemplified by Our Lady. Rediscover and champion your God-given identity!
