Extensive research infused with Edith Stein's writings offers a portrait into the profound spirituality of a remarkable saint who carried a light of hope into the world with her understanding of human suffering. Author Dianne Traflet explores the three pillars of her spirituality: the Eucharist, which enabled her to receive and extend God's love; the Blessed Mother, who taught her to obey the call to serve; and the cross, which gave her the courage to live Christ's example, suffering to save others.
