A Reflection on Edith Stein
Susan Brinkmann presents...
Janet Wigoff
Janet Wigoff is a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Community of Secular Discalced Carmelites. She has a master's degree in Systematic Theology and taught religion in high school for 18 years. Much like Edith Stein, Janet's return to the Church began after reading the Autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila.
In this reflection, Janet shares an informative deep dive into the life of Edith Stein. Prepare to be inspired by her conversion and teachings. And, explore how to practically apply St. Theresa Benedicta's insights into your own life.
Students will learn:
How Edith’s upbringing and thirst for truth started with being an observant Jew, then an atheist, and shifted towards becoming agnostic by her late teens
The connection between leaving the faith and depression
St. Edith’s thesis “On the Problem of Empathy” and how to practically apply her teachings in your life today
St. Edith’s awakening to her spiritual identity (The Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Benedict)
Prompts to consider your experience with spiritual people
St. Edith’s writings on “The Science of the Cross,” including the beauty of suffering
The events that led to St. Edith’s capture and demise at Auschwitz-Birkenau
