Abstract
Abstract In the context of contemporary mass atrocities and the search for justice, we offer a contemporary reading of the Book of Lamentations—a heartbreaking poem about a devastated city—through the witness of Edith Stein, a Jewish Catholic philosopher, educator, feminist, and Carmelite martyr of the Holocaust. Stein's own story of suffering gender and racial discrimination and her writings on empathy can help readers enter the world of Lamentations with compassion for those who bear the pain of acute injustice. In addition, her devotion in prayer and worship to the crucified and risen Christ as a Carmelite nun can help us find meaning in suffering. In her writings and witness, she teaches us that God's faithfulness does not abandon us to evil and that his unfailing love rescues us and transforms us into people of compassion and hope in the world.
在当代大规模暴行和寻求正义的背景下，我们通过伊迪丝·斯坦(Edith Stein)的见证，对《哀歌书》(Book of lament哀伤)进行当代解读。伊迪丝·斯坦是一位犹太天主教哲学家、教育家、女权主义者，也是大屠杀的加尔默罗会烈士。斯坦因自己遭受性别和种族歧视的故事，以及她关于同理心的作品，可以帮助读者带着对那些遭受严重不公正痛苦的人的同情，进入《哀歌》的世界。此外，作为加尔默罗会修女，她虔诚地祈祷和崇拜被钉十字架和复活的基督，可以帮助我们在苦难中找到意义。在她的著作和见证中，她教导我们，上帝的信实不会把我们抛弃在邪恶中，他永不停止的爱拯救我们，把我们变成世界上有同情心和希望的人。
