"There is a vocation to suffer with Christ and thereby to cooperate with him in his work of salvation.
"When we are united with the Lord, we are members of the mystical body of Christ: Christ lives on in his members and continues to suffer in them. And the suffering borne in union with the Lord is his suffering, incorporated in the great work of salvation and fruitful therein."

St. Edith Stein sends greetings on this date in 1934 to her old friend and recent Jewish convert, Ruth Kantorowicz; she offers this advice:
"Do not allow yourself to be distracted by any outward unrest from living in the intense thought of the Advent liturgy. Then the Feast [of Christmas] will bring you an abundance of graces."
