Welcome to our special program on the Year of Faith, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, a series
on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of faith in the Catholic Church from
around the world. These are people who lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary
ways. Their unique stories inspire us to be rooted in our faith. God calls each one
of us today to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith. The
Faithful Witness of this week is Glory Fernandes from Mumbai, India. Born and brought
up in a Catholic family in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, she had worked in
Mumbai till her retirement. She now lives in Mumbai with her husband and children.
Glory’s story is so amazing to say the least. We don’t come across women of such faith
and trust every day. She shares with us her journey of faith. xxx Our
Faithful Witness of today, Glory Fernandes of Mumbai, India, shares with us her faith
experiences, her closeness to Christ and more. Glory Fernandes a hearty welcome to
Vatican Radio. Listen: Tell
us briefly about you. Now share with us your faith experiences. But you are
not bothered by what they are saying? So, you believe it is your faith that’s
making it work? You had strong faith from the beginning or after your sickness
was cured? You live in a place surrounded by people of other faiths. How does your
faith help them or their faith help you?

was the first part of an interview with Glory Fernandes from India. In the second
part of this interview next week, Glory Fernandes will share with us her husband’s
miraculous recovery. xxx You have been listening to THE FAITHFUL WITNESS
