Edith Stein sees the highest expression of the feminine genius in the Blessed Virgin Mary. This article presents (1) Edith Stein’s insights into what it means to walk with Mary and how her imitation provides women a secure path to nurturing a healthy emotional life necessary for fruitful spiritual motherhood and spiritual companionship, and (2) Edith Stein’s life which offers a concrete and relatively recent example of how the imitation of Mary helps women unlock their feminine genius.

The spiritual impoverishment of humanity is directly tied to the marginalization of women that has prevented them from fully expressing their feminine genius in both the home and in society. What is need to remove obstacles to the feminine genius is the adoption of the Gospel vision for women and the espousal of Jesus Christ’s attitude toward women. By showing openness, respect, acceptance, and tenderness towards women, the feminine gifts will make an indispensable contribution to the growth of a culture that promotes a culture worthy of persons, a world in which human relationships are more honest and authentic. Women, beginning with their daily relationships with people, offer to humanity the richness of their sensitivity, intuitiveness, generosity, and fidelity. The family and society, as John Paul II noted, direly need the maternal and healing embrace of women.

The article deals with an important and a subtle dichotomy between the universal priesthood and spiritual motherhood. The first, which is a vocation and Christian heritage by baptism, is to be realized spiritually with the full engagement of one’s mind, love and intention as well as through certain acts which flow from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. These all create an image of the spiritual motherhood, which is a special mission in the Church, especially for a woman and which finds a number of holy examples throughout history. The ideal of it being Mary, Mother of God, who is to be followed and asked for intercession. Spiritual motherhood plays a magnificent role in relation to priests. The Apostolic See has promulgated official encouragements for it during the Year for Priests.

The term feminine genius denotes a special intuition and sensitivity of a woman that helps her not only ascertain the needs of others but also empathize with the human condition in a way characteristic only of women. The article attempts to answer questions concerning the feminine genius, such as the following: What is spiritual motherhood? What is spiritual companionship? How can women express the qualities of companionship and motherhood in and out of their homes? What kind of obstacles do women need to root out of their hearts to build loving relationships? And, How does emotional formation prepare women for their vocation? The answers are sought from Edith Stein’s perspective, i.e. by drawing from the usage of phenomenology and Thomism adopted in her book, Essays on Women.
