Sonia Reppucci - Hiob (EN) - Voices of Faith

When Sonia was three years old she has been hit by a car at full speed that irreparably damaged her spine leaving her without the use of her legs. She lived with her family, then in a community for disabled people, finally she was able to live autonomously but in 2010 a serious fall caused more sufferings and little hope of recovery.
Her ordeal started again with a long hospital stay… but a smile is always in Sonia’s face and this is her favorite prayer:
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise him.” - Psalm 28:7
Filmed live from the heart of the Vatican on International Women's Day the 8th of March 2014.
Voices of Faith aims for a creative exchange and a connection of ideas from a female perspective that can build a better future. Learn more about the annual event here: voicesoffaith.org/
