From the life of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
(Edith Stein)
Feast Day: August 9
Referring to her entry into the Carmelite monastery, she wrote of the pain of leaving her mother:
She covered her face with her hands and began to weep. I stood behind her chair and held her silvery head to my breast. Thus we remained for a long while, until she let me persuade her to go to bed. I took her upstairs and helped her undress, for the first time in my life. Then I sat on the edge of her bed till she herself sent me to bed...I don't think either of us found any rest that night."
Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, ocds
