Angel story's
by: B. Baptiste
Many years ago a friend and I were on a highway going out of state. We were looking forward to having a good time since it was a break from school. We had been on the highway for a while when I first noticed a car towing a boat in front of us. My friend who was driving had gotten close to the back of the boat. Then I saw the sparks from the chain as the boat started falling from the back of the car right in front of us. All I remember was a scream in the dark which must have been my scream because I was so terrified. I fainted out of extreme fear. When I came to again I don't know whatever happened to the boat. But I was sure that if it had not been for my guardian angel that night I would have died. I never questioned or wondered what happened that night. I just know that I owe my life to my guardian angel.

Bl. Edith Stein 1942
Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)Virgin and Martyr Edith Stein, born in 1891 in Breslau, Poland, was the youngest child of a large Jewish family. She was an outstanding student and was well versed in philosophy with a particular interest in phenomenology. Eventually she became interested in the Catholic Faith, and in 1922, she was baptized at the Cathedral Church in Cologne, Germany. Eleven years later Edith entered the Cologne Carmel. Because of the ramifications of politics in Germany, Edith, whose name in religion was Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, was sent to the Carmel at Echt, Holland. When the Nazis conquered Holland, Teresa was arrested, and, with her sister Rose, was sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Teresa died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz in 1942 at the age of fifty-one. In 1987, she was beatified in the Cologne cathedral by Pope John Paul II. Out of the unspeakable human suffering caused by the Nazis in western Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, there blossomed the beautiful life of dedication, consecration, prayer, fasting, and penance of Saint Teresa. Even though her life was snuffed out by the satanic evil of genocide, her memory stands as a light undimmed in the midst of evil, darkness, and suffering. She was canonized on October 11, 1998.
