Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (named Edith Stein prior to her vocation) was a Carmelite nun and Martyr during the Nazi regime. Although born into a Jewish family, she grew up an atheist and kept questioning who God truly was. But with God’s grace, Saint Teresa was drawn to the Catholic faith after reading the works of Saint Teresa of Jesus, reformer of the Carmelite Order. She was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church, served as a nun, and later died as a martyr in a Nazi camp.
Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, who lived a life of prayer, fasting, penance, and consecration, pray for us!
