Vatican Weekend for August 5th, 2017 features a report on Pope Francis’ Wednesday general audience where he spoke about the sacrament of baptism in his continuing reflections on Christian Hope, we explore the life and personality of St. Teresia Benedicta of the Cross, born as Edith Stein, whose death at the hands of the Nazis in Auschwitz took place 75 years ago this week and we end with a tour of the stunning artworks inside Rome’s basilica of St. Mary Major to coincide with the anniversary of the church’s consecration on August 5th.
