Full Description
This is the first publication in English providing a profound and detailed understanding of the spirituality of Saint Bridget of Sweden, Saint Catherine of Siena and Edith Stein (Saint Teresa Benedict of the Cross). Philosopher Elodie Boublil reflects on the feminine theology of these saints to show its relevance for today's world and the Church. Beyond their European anchorage, the spirituality of these three women is a 'proclamation of hope'. They bear witness to Christ-Way (Bridget from Sweden), Truth (Catherine of Siena) and Life (Edith Stein/Teresa Benedict of the Cross)-and to the Holy Spirit which shaped their hearts. Through their lives and teachings the co-patronesses of Europe remind us of the urgent necessity to reopen a path to interiority to better serve others and spread peace, showing thereby the unity of contemplation and action. These women embodied the universal call to holiness made by the Vatican II Council, the 'culture of the encounter' and the spirit of fraternity that Pope Francis calls for.
