Edith Stein, a woman of profound faith and devotion, is a shining example of the power of prayer and the will of God. Through her journey, we are given a glimpse into the inner struggles of a truly inspirational person, guided by her unwavering search for truth and her acceptance of God's will. Despite the many labels that have been attached to her - Jewess, philosopher, Carmelite nun, martyr of Auschwitz - Edith Stein's life is a testament to the transformative power of prayer and her deep love for Jesus and Mary. Her writings on prayer, many of which are published here for the first time, offer a unique glimpse into the heart of this remarkable woman. Through her words and experiences, we are invited to join Edith on her own journey of prayer and spiritual growth, as she finds courage and fulfillment in her daily contact with God. As a companion in the Christian life, Edith Stein inspires us to follow her example, to go to the world and carry the divine life into it.
