Edith Stein melihat salib Kristus sebagai sebuah pengorbanan cinta Tuhan kepada manusia. Salib Kristus adalah satu-satunya kekuatan dan harapan bagi umat manusia. Edith Stein percaya bahwa benih salib berkembang dalam diri para pengikut Kristus. Oleh karena itu, adalah suatu keharusan bagi para pengikut Kristus untuk memanggul salib dan menghidupinya dalam hidup keseharian. Salib dan penderitaan yang dipenuhi dengan cinta Allah yang mendalam memiliki makna besar bagi umat manusia. Melalui salib dan penderitaan, Allah memurnikan manusia untuk berkembang ke arah kesempurnaan. Melalui salib dan penderitaan, manusia juga turut berpartisipasi dalam penderitaan Kristus. Salib dan penderitaan yang disatukan dengan penderitaan Kristus memiliki nilai penebusan. Pada akhirnya, salib dan penderitaan yang sungguh-sungguh diimani akan membawa manusia pada sukacita kebangkitan.
