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. They are examples of great fortitude and virtue. 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 Sr. Liza CTC. She is currently the Superior General of the Congregation of Teresian
Carmelites. Last week she shared with us her Congregation’s spirituality, mission,
and their practical application in daily lives. She also told us about her vocation
– how she was inspired to join the Congregation while reading a book. Today she shares
with us further her faith experiences and also what the congregation is doing in this
year of faith. xxx Our Faithful Witness of today, Sr. Liza CTC, Superior
General of the Congregation of Teresian Carmelites, shares with us her own faith experiences,
her congregation’s task in this year of faith. Sr. Liza, a hearty welcome to Vatican
Radio. Listen: Your vocation
to religious life is very fascinating as it came from a book! How do you find the
faith of the people you are in contact with? You find you were inspired by their
faith. Did you inspire them? We are observing the ‘year of faith’ in the Catholic
Church, is there anything special happening in your Congregation? There is a general
feeling that youth are away from the Church. Is that true? Have you ever faced
any difficult situation in life. Have your faith ever helped you? What is your
message for Christians in this year of faith?
Thank you sister. That was
Sr. Liza CTC, Superior General of the Congregation of Teresian Carmelites, sharing
her faith experiences. xxx You have been listening to THE FAITHFUL
WITNESS our weekly series based on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of
