She is so strong. What a powerful voice. Thank you so much for sharing, my friend. She embodies Advent!

She was a true master. I sometimes wonder what she might have become if she had survived the war. She would have made an incredible therapist, I think. Or a spiritual director.

Such an inspiration of a life of deep peace and love lived in such difficult time and circumstances! I’m so glad you are bringing Etty’s story back this Advent!

I'm so humbled every time I read her, which is probably 5 days a week! I'm on my third go-around through her journals and letters. I bring her back this year out of popular demand, as she was one of the most shared mystics from last year. I'm thinking of maybe doing a Lent series just on her someday.

A Lent series on Etty! What an amazing idea! I’d read that!
