„Ich war verliebt in diese Lebensform, in dieses Leben“, sagt die 27-jährige Schwester Mirjam, die in einem Kloster in Linz lebt. Dass sie mit 18, damals noch als Laura Schwaiger, in den Orden der Marienschwestern vom Karmel eingetreten ist, machte sie zur jüngsten Ordensfrau Österreichs. Wer sich nun eine weltfremde, biedere Klosterschwester vorstellt, irrt: Schwester Mirjam hat rund 4.000 Follower:innen auf Instagram.

Prof. Goto gründet seinen Zugang zur (klinischen) Psychologie und Psychotherapie auf die Lehre Edith Steins. Im Vortrag und in der anschliessenden Diskussion befragen wir Edith Steins Lehre zu den klinischen Anwendungen.Zitate von Prof. Goto:„Edith Steins Beitrag zur Psychologie zeigt uns, dass die Seele zu erforschen keine Aufgabe von Handbüchern ist, sondern ein Akt der Präsenz angesichts des gelebten Lebens, in dem sich dessen Sinn offenbart.“„Edith Stein hat der Psychologie einen Weg hinterlassen, der Reduktionismen ablehnt: Um das psychische Leben zu verstehen, muss man den Menschen als untrennbare Einheit von Körper, Psyche und Geist anerkennen.“„Wenn die Psychologie auf Edith Steins Phänomenologie trifft, hört sie auf, nur eine technische Wissenschaft zu sein – sie wird zu einer rigorosen Übung im Verstehen des Menschlichen in seiner Innerlichkeit und Einzigartigkeit.“Über die Person:Außerordentliche Professur II im Grundstudium der Psychologie, ständiger Forscher in den Studiengängen Psychologie und Philosophie an der Bundesuniversität von Uberlândia (UFU).

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Ariela Karmel and religion and archaeology correspondent Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. At the start of the Knesset's winter session, the Knesset State Control Committee voted down a proposal to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th, 2023, Hamas-led attack, says Karmel, to the dismay, anger, and tears of the bereaved families present, who expected it could happen now that the 20 living hostages have been released home. The government cabinet voted to rename the war against Hamas as the War of Revival, says Karmel, a proposal floated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for over a year, and with much opposition, given the October 7, 2023, failures that led to the war. A new bill advanced by coalition lawmakers calls for several religious practices to be enshrined in Israel's public spaces, discusses Karmel, including requiring mezuzahs hung in public institutions and allowing public prayer according to the practices of the worshipper, both major battleground issues between secular and religious communities. Tercatin discusses how Israelis have changed religiously and spiritually since October 7 and the ensuing war, and whether those changes are more prevalent among those who were already religiously faithful in their previous lives. She also talks about an unusual archaeological find of an Assyrian inscription near Jerusalem's Temple Mount, with wording that appears to echo an episode described in the Bible. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Ref.: Julian Heese, Bereichsleiter „Missionarische und diakonische Pastoral im Bonifatiuswerk der deutschen Katholiken und Projektpartner, Paderborn Island gilt als das "Land aus Feuer und Eis". Auf der kargen Insel im rauen Nordatlantik gibt es nicht nur Polarlichter, Geysire und Vulkane, sondern auch einen Karmel. Im Hafenstädtchen Hafnarfjördur lebt unter einer Bevölkerung mit nicht einmal 5 Katholiken eine dynamische, internationale und relativ junge Gemeinschaft von Karmelitinnen. Unterstützt werden die kontemplativen Ordensfrauen vom Bonifatiuswerk, dem Hilfswerk der deutschen Katholiken für die Kirche in der Diaspora. In der Lebenshilfe beschreibt uns Sr. Miriam ihre Mission in einem Land, in dem es nicht mehr als 17 Priester gibt - inklusive Bischof - und im Winter gerade mal 4 bis 5 Stunden Sonnenlicht pro Tag. Julian Heese vom Bonifatiuswerk schildert das wachsende Interesse an Glauben und Kirche gerade in den nordischen Ländern und warum caritative Projekte manchmal mehr vom Evangelium erzählen als viele Worte. Ein Beispiel dafür ist "Klaras Küche" in Hamburg, das uns die Dominikanerin Schwester Klarissa vorstellt.

"Ich bin viel zu schwach, um aus eigener Kraft, den Weg zu Gott zu schaffen. Ich denke, ich werde den Aufzug nehmen - die Liebe zu Gott ist der schnellste und sicherste Aufzug" und "ich will im Herzen der Kirche die Liebe sein". Das sind zwei zwei Sprüche, die von der Heiligen Theresia von Lisieux stammen, oder ihr zugeschrieben werden. Dass sich jemand zu schwach, zu kraftlos, zu klein und unbedeutend fühlt, um eine große Aufgabe zu schaffen, das kann ich gut nachempfinden. Aber dann zu sagen: Ich nehme den Aufzug, das finde ich echt witzig und so genial einfach. Aber selbst ihre Mitschwestern im Karmel von Lisieux haben nicht verstanden, dass diese so einfache, kleine, liebenswürdige Schwester jeden Tag sehr hart daran gearbeitet hat, diesen "Aufzug der Liebe" zu nehmen. Als sie schon schwer krank war, und im Auftrag der Priorin ihren Lebensweg in einem Büchlein zusammenfassen sollte, hat Theresia das getan. Nachdem die Priorin es gelesen hatte, meinte sie: "Es sei ja lieb und nett, aber man brauche doch etwas Ernsthaftes."Auch sie hatte nicht verstanden, dass die täglichen kleinen Dinge, die in Liebe und Freundlichkeit getan werden, ein viel größerer Schatz sind, als tausend wortgewandte theologische Abhandlungen über die Liebe Gottes. In der heutigen Lesung aus dem Hohenlied der Liebe im Alten Testament heißt es: "Auch mächtige Wasser können die Liebe nicht löschen, auch Ströme schwemmen sie nicht weg. Böte einer für die Liebe den ganzen Reichtum seines Hauses, nur verachten würde man ihn."Die täglichen Dinge in Liebe tun, das hat Theresia von Lisieux als ihren kleinen Weg verstanden. Und jeder von uns die schon mal versucht hat, die eigene Ungeduld zu zügeln, die Schwächen der Mitmenschen oder des Chefs und die Marotten der eigenen Familie zu tragen und mit Liebe und Einsatz alles zu tun, was dran ist, kann sehr gut verstehen, dass es echte und harte Arbeit ist. "Ich bin viel zu schwach, um aus eigener Kraft, den Weg zu Gott zu schaffen. Ich denke, ich werde den Aufzug nehmen - die Liebe zu Gott ist der schnellste und sicherste Aufzug". Das ist ein guter Tipp für alles, was heute zu tun ist.

Ref.: Ursula Maria Fehlner, Bundesvorsitzende des VkdL und Dr. Barbara Kursawe, Verein katholischer deutscher Lehrerinnen (VkdL) Kitas, Schulen und Universitäten gehören schon lange zu den Orten, an denen der Wind des Zeitgeistes spürbar weht. Und nicht nur in staatlichen Bildungseinrichtungen wird an christlichen Grundüberzeugungen gerüttelt - etwa was Genderdebatte und Menschenbild angeht, ethische Grundüberzeugungen und vieles mehr. Selbst in kirchlichen Schulen sind christliche Standpunkte oft nur noch schwer zu vermitteln. Der Verein katholischer deutscher Lehrerinnen (VkdL) versucht in diesem Umfeld, Pädagoginnen aus allen Bildungsbereichen zusammenzubringen und in ihrem Engagement zu stärken. Mit 140 Jahren hat der Verein ein lange Tradition - bekanntestes Mitglied war die Märtyrerin Edith Stein, die vor ihrem Eintritt in den Karmel leidenschaftlich Lehrerin war. Wie der Verein damals wie heute versucht, christliche Perspektiven in ein säkularisiertes Bildungswesen einfließen zu lassen - darüber sprechen wir im Standpunkt mit den beiden führenden VkdL-Mitgliedern Ursula Fehlner und Dr. Barbara Kursawe.

When co-parenting feels impossible because of constant conflict, there is another way. It's called parallel parenting—a structure designed for high-conflict divorce that reduces interaction, sets clear boundaries, and allows both parents to focus on their children's wellbeing. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm joined by Randi Karmel, PLLC, a family law attorney, mediator, and parent coordinator with decades of experience helping families navigate custody disputes, substance abuse cases, and complex parenting dynamics. Randi and I explore how to create a parallel parenting plan that actually works. We talk about what must be included in your legal agreement, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to handle the inevitable gray areas that come with real life. You'll also hear why having a parent coordinator can be a game-changer in easing ongoing conflict. If you're facing high-conflict divorce or struggling with parenting arrangements, this episode will give you practical tools to reduce stress, minimize court battles, and prioritize your child's emotional safety.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon and Knesset reporter Ariela Karmel join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. We begin the program with an update on the ongoing saga of the attempts to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. On Sunday morning, the five-member ministerial committee recently set up to dismiss the attorney general voted unanimously to recommend that the government to dismiss her. We hear what are the potential next steps toward firing her -- and probable backlash. Yesterday at the Knesset conference called “The Gaza Riviera – from vision to reality,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed a “security annexation” of the northern Gaza Strip and claimed that Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir favors the idea. Dozens of right-wing politicians and activists claim they are set to "right a historic wrong" that occurred 20 years ago with the 2005 Disengagement. Karmel sets the scene. Israeli authorities have said they are taking control of the management of the Tomb of the Patriarchs holy site in Hebron, in order to carry out construction work at the flashpoint West Bank shrine. Sharon explains how there is precedent for this temporary control and delves into why the move is so controversial this time. And finally, in June, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced that it had opened an investigation into “matters related to the Israel-Hamas armed conflict,” with the possibility of uncovering “a perpetrator of core international crimes — such as genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity.” This announcement sparked concern among dual Israel-Canadian citizen soldiers. Karmel wrote an in-depth piece on the topic and shares the soldiers' fears. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and reporter Ariela Karmel join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As hostage family members met with members of the Trump administration in the White House on Tuesday, Berman discusses the latest developments in the hostage negotiations, as Hamas continues to leverage the remaining living hostages for political gain while negotiators say Hamas must accept US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff's latest proposal. He also looks at Iran's rejection of the nuclear deal proposal, after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the US proposal for a nuclear agreement went against the country’s national interest of continuing to enrich uranium. Berman notes that Iran wants a deal of some kind, particularly one that will protect them against future Israeli attacks, and is continuing to negotiate, with another round slated for this weekend. Berman describes one of the aid sites in Gaza that was created by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and the complications of funneling Gazans into the space to receive their aid packages. He notes that the aid centers are closed today to fine-tune the process and prepare safe access routes after the IDF opened fire toward Palestinians who had approached troops after straying off a pre-approved path for reaching a Rafah distribution site. Berman also looks at Spain and its decision to cancel another arms deal with Israel, spiking a $325 million system that would have been developed in Spain by Pap Tecnos, a subsidiary of Israel’s Rafael Advance Defense Systems. Berman discusses that Spain is a long-time critic of Israel’s policies toward Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and that it may be following other European countries with this step. Karmel speaks about ongoing government settlement policies that incentivize Israelis to move to the West Bank due to rising housing costs inside Israel, and how that situation has been concretized by members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government. She also relates the launch of a book by released hostage Eli Sharabi, the first book by a former hostage, and his determination to keep living despite the personal tragedies he has experienced.

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?

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 4 November 2024 Bacaan: "Maka takutlah ia, lalu bangkit dan pergi menyelamatkan nyawanya; dan setelah sampai ke Bersyeba, yang termasuk wilayah Yehuda, ia meninggalkan bujangnya di sana. Tetapi ia sendiri masuk ke padang gurun sehari perjalanan jauhnya, lalu duduk di bawah sebuah pohon arar. Kemudian ia ingin mati, katanya: "Cukuplah itu! Sekarang, ya TUHAN, ambillah nyawaku, sebab aku ini tidak lebih baik dari pada nenek moyangku." (1 Raja-raja 19:3-4) Renungan: Di gunung Karmel, Elia menantang Raja Ahab beserta 400 orang Nabi Baal untuk membuktikan kehebatan Tuhan. Elia memanjatkan doa yang super beriman, "Ya TUHAN, Allah Abraham, Ishak dan Israel, pada hari ini biarlah diketahui orang, bahwa Engkaulah Allah... dan bahwa aku ini hambaMu... Jawablah aku, ya TUHAN, supaya bangsa ini mengetahui, bahwa Engkaulah Allah." Lalu, turunlah api menyambar habis korban bakaran Elia dan ia membunuh ke 400 Nabi Baal tersebut. Namun keesokan harinya, ia lari ketakutan ketika mendengar ancaman Izebel, dan berkata, "Cukuplah itu! Sekarang, ya TUHAN, ambillah nyawaku." Elia berdiri teguh di puncak gunung Karmel mendeklarasikan fokus dan kekuatan imannya kepada Tuhan dan meyakini 100% akan jawaban doanya. Namun imannya jatuh seketika di titik nol hanya karena ancaman seorang perempuan. la menjadi putus asa dan ingin mati rasanya. Demikian pula Abraham, ia melakukan hal yang sama ketika ia berbohong tentang Sara di hadapan Firaun karena berusaha menyelamatkan nyawanya. Daud yang menuliskan pujian yang indah tentang kesetiaan Tuhan yang besar dalam hidupnya, namun juga yang menyerukan, "Allahku, mengapa Engkau meninggalkan Aku?" (Mzm 22:2). Musa yang menjadi pemimpin besar yang membawa bangsa Israel keluar dari Mesir dengan perbuatan tangan Tuhan yang besar, namun ia pun berseru-seru kepada Tuhan ketika berada di Masa dan Meriba, "Apakah yang akan kulakukan kepada bangsa ini? Sebentar lagi mereka akan melempari aku dengan batu?" Nabi Elia, Raja Daud, dan Musa adalah pahlawan-pahlawan iman yang dipakai oleh Tuhan untuk mendemonstrasikan kuasa-Nya, akan tetapi hal ini tidaklah menjadikan mereka manusia super rohani tanpa kegagalan. Dengan demikian, kita tidak perlu berkecil hati ketika perjalanan iman kita bagai grafik yang menurun secara drastis. Saat-saat kegelisahan, kekhawatiran, dan ketakutan tidak mampu kita halau, apakah yang harus kita lakukan selanjutnya? Nyatakan kepada Tuhan segala kelemahan iman kita dan tetaplah berdiri di gunung Tuhan. Dengan kata lain, iman kita boleh limbung namun tidaklah mati. Demikianlah Tuhan berkata setelah Elia menyampaikan ketakutannya, "Bangunlah, makanlah! Sebab kalau tidak, perjalananmu nanti terlalu jauh bagimu." Kita tidak berdiam diri ketika kondisi iman kita tercekik, namun kita harus bangkit dan meraih kekuatan Tuhan untuk menjalani hari-hari yang penuh tantangan dan menyadari la selalu setia di dalam kehidupan kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. DOA: Tuhan Yesus, aku mohon kekuatan untuk bisa bangkit ketika imanku runtuh, sehingga aku sanggup menapaki jalan kehidupanku sampai akhir. Amin. (Dod).

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Reporters Sue Surkes and Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Surkes discusses the funerals of Druze commander Ehsan Daqsa, one of the most senior officers killed in Gaza, and Elishai Young, 19, a combat soldier from the Hebrew Israelites community in Dimona, both members of minority populations in Israel that grapple with societal acceptance yet gave their lives to Israel. Bletter speaks about recent scientific research that looks at the effects of alcohol intake as opposed to psychedelics on Nova survivors suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from the rave massacre on October 7. She also talks about a visit to Klil, a northern hippie hamlet that isn't connected to the country's electricity grid, and therefore doesn't hear sirens warning of incoming rocket attacks. Surkes reviews her report on planned budget cuts to the Agriculture Ministry, even as the ministry had plans to invest in Israel's food security, as war has exposed need for food independence without reliance on imports. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Druze IDF colonel Ehsan Daqsa, slain in Gaza, remembered as a ‘natural leader' Death of soldier reopens debate about citizenship for non-Jewish Hebrew Israelites Study: Nova survivors who drank alcohol before Hamas attack more likely to suffer PTSD An off-the-grid hippie hamlet in Israel's north struggles for survival under rocket fire Plans to ensure food security threatened by Treasury bid to slash agriculture funds Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ehsan Daqsa, was killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday. We hear about Daqsa, 41, from the Druze town of Daliyat al-Karmel, who was one of the most senior officers to have been killed in the fighting in Gaza. Yesterday, Fabian spent several hours in Rafah, where he was debriefed by Col. Sivan Bloch -- the head of Bislamach, the School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders -- who stressed that the elimination of Yahya Sinwar by a patrol under his command was “not a stroke of luck.” We hear why. The IDF said jets hit dozens of sites overnight that are linked to an organization that funds the Hezbollah terror group in Beirut and south Lebanon. We learn about the strikes' targets: branches of an unlicensed gray-market bank seen as one of the group's main sources of cash.

We talk beefs (beeves?), dig into Internet drama, and have fun. The NBA is now a 365-day league and it's never been more present in pop culture. From Kevin Durant's burner accounts to LeBron taking his talents anywhere to trusting the Process, the NBA is becoming a pop culture requirement. At the same time, sports can have gatekeepers that make it insular and frustrating for people who aren't die hard fans. We're here to prove that basketball is entertaining to follow for all fans, whether you're actively watching the games or not. Recently featured in The New York Times!
