God Calling: Vocation Vibes-#52 -S3-E3 -Rooted and Radiant: The Latina/Hispanic Religious Vocation

Описание: In this episode--which is captioned in both English and Spanish--we explore with Montse Alvarado from the Eternal Word Television Network the beauty and richness of Latina and Hispanic religious vocations. We talk about how the cultural values of family, community, and a special reverence for motherhood might at first glance seem like deterrents to a young Latina or Hispanic woman’s discernment of consecrated life, but how these values—in their own special way--actually form the very foundation of religious life as well.

We also discuss the tender question of motherhood—both the cultural expectation of becoming a mother and the spiritual motherhood lived so profoundly by religious Sisters, and we look at how Latina and Hispanic women can navigate this attraction with courage, joy, and trust in the Lord’s call.

Speaking in Spanish, Mother Maria--the Superior General of the Little Sisters of the Poor--joins the podcast with a message of encouragement for all young women discerning the religious Sisterhood.

God never skips any culture when He invites women to the consecrated life! Viewers and listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how the cultural gifts of Latina and Hispanic women who are called to religious Sisterhood can prepare their hearts in a unique way for their truest and most radiant flourishing.
