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!

Day 7: Are You the one who made the mirror bright, Which stands beside the throne of the Almighty Just like a sea of crystal Wherein the Godhead views Himself with love? You bend o’er the most marvelous of Your creations And beaming shines Your splendor back to you. The pure beauty of all beings United in the lovely form of The virgin, Your flawless bride: Holy Spirit— Creator of the World. Prayer: Come Lord Jesus! We lift up in thanksgiving our beautiful Earth. Let our praise for your creation never end. Amen.
