Scripture

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

John 8:31–32

Reading

[B]ased on our long friendship, allow me to restate the general problem to you as an intellectual matter of conscience. Since religious education at school, how much time have you devoted to the study of Catholic dogma, to its theological foundation, to its historical development?

Letter 85
19 June 1924

Prayer

Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross,
called from the people of the Old Covenant,
help us to live together in peace and
to foster reconciliation between peoples and religions;
graced with the freedom of the spirit,
be close to all who seek the meaning of their lives,
the truth, and deliverance from all bondage.

(here mention your intentions)

Perfected in the wisdom of the Cross,
accompany us and all people
in every distress of body and soul.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Saint Edith Stein, pray for us.
