Frequently Asked Questions
Written by Kristen West McGuire   
Q. What does Secretum Meum Mihi mean?
A. From the Latin, it roughly translates to "My secret is unto me", or, "My secret is mine." It is pronounced "seh-cray-toom may-oom meehee".

Q. Why is the company and newsletter named Secretum Meum Mihi?

A. When Edith Stein suddenly converted to the Catholic faith in 1922, her best friend asked, "Why?" Edith mysteriously wrote on a nearby sheet of paper, Secretum meum mihi. She never elaborated. We are Catholic women committed to nurturing and sharing our own mysterious relationships with Jesus.

Q. What is the content of the newsletter?
A. We publish interviews with Catholic women of note, bible studies, book reviews, historical sketches and feature essays. The feature essays run in a series. The first series was The Ideal Woman (October 2006-July 2007), based on Edith Stein's ideas in her Essays on Woman. The next series was on Successful Male-Female Partnerships (August 2007 - June 2008), historical sketches of the ways that men and women have worked together in history. In August 2008, we began a series on the encyclical Mulieris Dignitatem (On the Dignity and Vocation of Woman).
The newsletter is currently reprinting the first series. We hope to make new content available in 2010.

Q. How often is it published?
A. We send weekly emails free to our subscribers. You can also RSS Feed it (click the link on our main page, left column, scroll down.)
