Show Notes

Sr Teresa Lau's 60 years in religious life exemplify her profound commitment to living out God's call with the Sisters of St Paul de Chartres Australia. Her journey highlights the grace and courage required to say "yes" to God repeatedly, even amidst challenges. This mirrors the scriptural calls of figures like Mary and Peter, who responded wholeheartedly to God's invitation despite feelings of unworthiness. May we remember God's call is always an initiative of love, inviting us to respond with love and self-giving.
