I Had to Fight My Faith
In 1953, Sister Edigna spent eleven month in solitary confinement in České Budějovice prison, waiting for her trial. The several-month lasting complete isolation was extremely difficult and due to severe illness and insufficient diet, Sister Edigna was very close to death. “It was very cruel; I wouldn’t wish that to anybody. If I could choose between ten years in the Pardubice jail and that time in České Budějovice, I would certainly choose Pardubice. I had to fight my faith. Who would have imagined that, to argue with Christ? But I have to admit that sometimes I was yelling at Lord. But on the other hand, it is a miracle that I am still here.” In September 1953, Sister Edigna was sentenced to six years in prison and transported from České Budějovice to Pardubice. Her condition was so critical though, that she was immediately taken to a prison doctor, who diagnosed her with tuberculosis. She weighed only little over forty kilograms.
