Jews, Judaism & Israel, History of a People: Episode 31 (top secret playlist available below)
In my public work, St. Teresa Benedicta is my closest friend after whom I strive with all my heart to follow and imitate in every way possible, especially in “becoming all things to all men” so that I can bring one single soul one single step closer to the “one thing necessary”, i.e. Apostoli Viae, or at least perseverance in Mental prayer.
* In every public intellectual work (especially her speeches), St. Teresa Benedicta approached an intellectual topic so that she could change the subject to the “one thing necessary” - the mystical prayer tradition of the Church, practiced by all the saints, but explicated by the Carmelites.
* She was Benedictine but Carmelite. She was Augustinian yet Thomist. She was a Jewess yet cleaved to her Messiah, the King of the Jews. She suffered with her suffering people instead of renouncing this identity and separating herself from them. She was a person of unity and truth.
* I am doing penance for my past sins by following her and attempting - in some small way - to imitate her.
* St. Teresa Benedicta, by her whole life and glorious martyrdom, answers the Jewish Question in our time
Holy Virgin Martyr of our times - pray for us!
