教皇利奥十四世在 2025 年 11 月 12 日的一般接见仪式上向 19 世纪印度德雷西亚加尔默罗会第三修会的宗教创始人伊丽丝瓦·瓦卡伊修女致敬，重点介绍了她于 11 月 8 日在喀拉拉邦高知举行的宣福仪式。 Pope Leo XIV honored Mother Elisva Vakha’i, a 19th-century Indian religious founder of the Third Order of the Teresian Discalced Carmelites, during his November 12, 2025, general audience, highlighting her beatification celebrated on November 8 in Kochi, Kerala. 他赞扬她致力于通过教育和宗教生活提高贫穷女孩的地位,称她为妇女尊严和解放的典范。 He praised her dedication to uplifting poor girls through education and religious life, calling her a model of women’s dignity and emancipation. Vakhai是寡妇,建立了孤儿院和学校,强调教育是社会参与的必要条件。 Vakha’i, a widow, established an orphanage and school, emphasizing education as essential for social participation. 1866 年，她与姐姐和女儿共同创立了喀拉拉邦第一座加尔默罗会修道院，在拉丁语和叙利亚-马拉巴尔仪式中推广沉思生活、服务和早期形式的共议——倾听、辨别和共同使命。 She co-founded Kerala’s first Discalced Carmelite convent in 1866 with her sister and daughter, promoting contemplative life, service, and early forms of synodality—listening, discernment, and shared mission—across Latin and Syro-Malabar rites. 教会现在承认她是信仰、服务和妇女整体形成的灯塔。 The Church now recognizes her as a beacon of faith, service, and integral formation for women.
