Listen "6. St. Charbel: Wonderworker of the East"
Episode Synopsis
This week Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly are joined by Mother Marla Marie and Sr. Therese Maria to speak about the “Wonderworker of the East,” St. Charbel, a Lebanese priest and monk whose feast day the Roman Catholic Church celebrates on July 24! Mother Marla Marie & Sr. Therese Maria are religious sisters in the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light. Their community was founded in the USA by Bishop Gregory Mansour in 2008 to serve the pastoral and spiritual needs of our Maronite Catholic parishes. The sisters are spiritual mothers in the Eparchy of Saint Maron serving in different retreats/missions and ministries for children, youth, young adults, families and the sick and home bound. Be sure to tune into this episode to learn more about the Maronite Servants of Christ the Light and how Catholics tap into their Hebraic and Near Eastern Christian roots.
