Written By Br. John-Mary of Jesus Crucified, O.C.D.

Spiritual autobiographies have a unique power to bring about transformation in the lives of those who read them. We are inspired by the stories of others, but there seems to be something even deeper happening when we read the autobiographies of the saints. In this episode, we sit down to explore the power of spiritual autobiographies and what St. Edith Stein (Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) can teach us about how to read them.
