Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), Virgin and Martyr

God of our Fathers,

who brought the Martyr Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

to know your crucified Son

and to imitate him even until death,

grant, through her intercession,

that the whole human race may acknowledge Christ as its Savior and through him come to behold you for eternity.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.
