Edith Stein inspires me through her statements, which she expressed in very clear and beautiful sentences. Some of her words, which I find in her texts, have been accompanying me for a long time. My video presents one of these quotes from Edith Stein.

Text: (Translation)
For quite a few years now Edith Stein has become a level-headed, smart, inspiring and reliable, motherly teacher, namely in the sense that some of her sentences are in my mind for a longer period of time and often support me. Like the following sentences, which encourage me over and over again to watch out for quiet moments throughout the day and for quiet days in my life and to seek quiet prayer.
“The work of salvation takes place in obscurity and stillness. In the heart’s quiet dialogue with God the living building blocks out of which the kingdom of God grows are prepared, the chosen instruments for the construction forged. The mystical stream that flows through all centuries is no spurious tributary that has strayed from the prayer life of the church it is its deepest life.“ - Edith Stein The Prayer of the Church 1936.
