A Tribute to Edith Stein: Reflect on the beautiful homage paid by John Paul II during the Canonization of Edith Stein on October 11, 1998, and learn about her journey from a Jewish philosopher to a Carmelite nun, and ultimately, her martyrdom at Auschwitz.

The Impact on Marriage and Family: Unpack the ways in which modern ideologies are undermining the foundations of marriage, family, and the well-being of children through "destructive lies."

The Essence of Truth and Love: Engage with the idea that without love, truth can be harmful, and without truth, love is not genuine—echoing Saint Teresa Benedicta's warning against accepting anything that lacks this essential balance.
