Whoever is imbued with a lively faith in Christ present in the tabernacle, whoever knows that a friend awaits here constantly—always with the time, patience, and sympathy to listen to complaints, petitions, and problems, with counsel and help in all things—this person cannot remain desolate and forsaken even under the greatest difficulties. He always has a refuge where quietude and peace can again be found.

—St. Edith Stein (Teresa Benedicta of the Cross)

from the book Communion with Christ

A SPIRITUALITY OF COMMUNION

As a philosopher, Edith Stein sought communion with the Truth. As the Carmelite nun Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, she gave up everything for communion with the Person who is Truth, Jesus Christ. This work considers her life and writings in the context of a “spirituality of communion.”
