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 8: Are You the sweet song of love, and of holy awe, Resounding ever round God’s throne triune, Which unifies the pure tone of all beings, Within itself? The harmony which fits the limbs to the head, So that each blissfully finds the secret meaning Of His being, And exudes it with gladness freely dissolved In Your streams: Holy Spirit— Eternal jubilation! Prayer: Come Lord Jesus! We lift up to you our hopes and dreams! With you, all things are possible. Encourage us! Amen.
