Edith Stein: Essential Writings by Edith Stein (selected by John Sullivan, OCD)

(Maryknoll: Orbis, 2002), 158

Somehow reading Edith Stein feels like I'm reading someone much older than her, perhaps St. Teresa of Ávila who she looked up to so much.

"Be patient with yourself; God is." (11)
"One can find God in the world by bringing God to the world." (23)
"Our love for our brothers and sisters is the measure of our love for God." (42)
"The work of salvation takes place in obscurity and stillness." (55)
"As the atmosphere around us grows steadily darker, all the more must we open our hearts to the light from above." (59)
"From God's point of view nothing is accidental." (71)
"God is truth. All who seek truth seek God." (91)
"A fine home creates an atmosphere in which the sould can freely breathe." (103)
"God wants your life in order to give you his." (133)
"Only one who possesses nothing possesses everything." (142)
