Dominican Sisters of Peace host movie
faith2
The movie, “Edith Stein: The Seventh Chamber,” will be shown at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8, in the Auditorium of the Motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of Peace, 3600 Broadway Ave. This presentation starts the spring series of Movies with a Message. This is a moving, artistic portrayal of the life of Jewish philosopher, Catholic convert and Carmelite martyr, Edith Stein, capturing the interior struggles of this extraordinary woman, as well as the great conflicts from her decision to convert to Catholicism. Deeply influenced by the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, she joined the Carmelites and took the name of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, and was put to death in Auschwitz in 1942, and canonized by John Paul II in 1998.
