Highlighted Saint
|
St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross was a philosopher and a
teacher and was very outspoken in her support of the Church.
Her Feast Day is August 9th.
Edith Stein was born at Breslau, Poland, in 1891 into a Jewish
German Family. Although raised in the Jewish tradition, at
fourteen Edith declared herself an atheist. She studied
Philosophy at Gottingen and Freiburg with fine results and was
drawn to the Catholic Faith; she converted and received
baptism in 1922. Her career as a teacher was interrupted by
the racist Nuremburg Laws, and she entered the Carmelite
convent of Cologne, taking the name of Teresa Benedicta of the
Cross. In 1942, she was deported to the extermination camp of
Auschwitz, where she died in a gas chamber. She was canonized
in 1998. She is depicted in the Carmelite habit.
Teresa has been a patron saint of Europe since 1999, along
with Saints Brigid of Sweden and Catherine of Siena
Name: Teresa is of Greek or German origin; in the first it
means “huntress”, in the second, “strong and amiable woman.”

Extreme Makeover
by Teresa Tomeo
Teresa Tomeo pulls together the latest research on
social behavior and trends to demonstrate that women
are harming themselves and their chances for true
happiness by adopting the thoroughly modern, sexually
liberated lifestyle portrayed in magazines and movies.
Packed with not only persuasive statistics but also
powerful personal testimonies, Extreme Makeover shows
that it is not the slogans of the sexual revolution
and the women’s liberation movement that free and
dignify women, but the beautiful teachings of the
Catholic Church. |

The Kitchen Madonna:
Patroness of The
Catholic View for Women
Mary was not only Jesus' Mother, but also a housewife.
Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
