Online lecture by Prof. Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz.
An initiative of the Edith Stein Society Austria and the Carmelites in Austria.
The lecture was created as a zoom transmission, so we ask for your understanding for the poor image quality.
In the last years of her short life Edith Stein writes a "science of the cross". In it, she opens three nights that believers can expect to experience (but not necessarily so). Trials weigh on the soul that thinks it is lost. And yet, this dryness, darkness, suffering can take a wonderful turn at the end of the path: refuge, purification, strength. Even in the dark, there can be a warm calm in which everything can be done. We follow the teacher who herself learned from John of the Cross.
