Welcome to St. Joseph's Holy Family, Inc.'s first blog post ever! Today is the feast of St. Edith Stein or Teresa Benedicta of the Cross as was her Carmelite name.

Above is a picture from Auschwitz. I cannot even describe the experience. One surely needed superhuman strength to brave the exposure, starvation, and mostly the lack of hope in these concentration camps. What a champion for women, for Christianity, for Judaism, for love was Edith Stein!
