What is Secretum Meum Mihi?
After Edith Stein's abrupt conversion in 1922, her best friend asked, "Why?" Mysteriously, Stein merely wrote "Secretum Meum Mihi," Latin for "My Secret is mine," on a nearby slip of paper.
Modern women have secrets, too. We say to each other, "I don't know how you do it!" The admiration is real…but so is the exhaustion and anxiety behind it, juggling competing priorities and defying time and space on a daily basis.
Do you ever wonder, "How am I going to keep doing it?"
Edith's secret was Jesus. He was her secret "lover," and she dedicated her life to knowing, loving and serving him. At Secretum Meum Mihi Press, we invite you to take a break with Edith. Discover her secret!

Teresa recognized his sanctity, noting in her journal that she could learn more from him than he could learn from her.
