“Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross – Painting by Dino Carbetta”

Is also known as Saint Edith Stein, was born on October 12, 1891, in Breslau, Germany, to a Jewish family. A brilliant philosopher and author, her spiritual journey led her to Catholicism and ultimately to martyrdom. Initially an atheist, Edith's encounter with Christianity began while studying under Max Scheler at the University of Göttingen. Despite a strong calling to religious life, she delayed entering the convent due to external circumstances, including the rise of anti-Jewish laws in Germany. Edith Stein earned her doctorate in philosophy under Edmund Husserl at the University of Freiburg and worked at the university until 1921. Her academic career was cut short by the Nazis, and she entered the Carmel of Cologne in 1933, adopting the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. As Nazi persecution intensified, she was moved to the Carmel in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Dutch bishops’ denunciation of Nazi policies led to the arrest of all Dutch Jews who had converted to Christianity. On August 2, 1942, Edith and her sister Rosa, also a convert, were arrested. They were transported first to Amersfoort, then to Westerbork, and finally to Auschwitz. In 1942, they were executed in the gas chambers. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross on May 1, 1987, and canonized her on October 11, 1998. On October 2, 1999, he proclaimed her a co-patron of Europe. Edith Stein's legacy is profound, not only for her philosophical contributions but also for her spiritual journey and ultimate sacrifice. Her writings, filling 17 volumes, reflect her unwavering pursuit of truth and her deep respect for her Jewish heritage even after her conversion. The painting "Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross" by Dino Carbetta captures her essence—her intellect, her spirituality, and her martyrdom. Through this art, we remember her profound faith and courage and are inspired to seek truth and live with integrity.
