I knew of Edith Stein in only a superficial way. Thank you for posting the links. I've never had a saint with whom I identified, and I can't really say why reading about her was so powerful for me. I only know that I feel that in the saintly family in heaven, I have found someone with whom I want to develop a friendship.

Thank you for the link. I knew only a little about her.

I am using your book The Rosary Keeping Company with Jesus and Mary. It's wonderful. You have another coming? I will get that one as well.

Babs, that is beautiful. Praise God.

Amy, thanks so much! Yes, the next book is due out in October. It's a collection of quotes about the Blessed Mother with brief reflections on each quote. I hope you like it, and thanks for your kind words.
