Some Women — A Magnificat® Ministry Podcast

Who were the women who followed Jesus — and how do we follow Him today?

Some Women is a podcast from Magnificat®, A Ministry to Catholic Women, inspired by the women of Luke 8:1–3 who accompanied Jesus and served Him faithfully. Each episode features members of the Magnificat Central Service Team (CST) and guest panelists in lively, Spirit-led conversations about faith, prayer, holiness, community, and living life in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to be “some women” — ordinary women with extraordinary faith — learning, laughing, and growing as disciples of Christ in the modern world.

Join us as we pray, learn, and experience what God can do in our lives when we say yes to Him.

Testimony of Joyce Papa

Testimony of Joyce Papa

Testimony of Joyce Papa

Given to: Albany, New York Chapter, May 2024

Joyce Papa has been married to her husband, Nick, for 53 years. She is a mother of 3 and grandmother of 5 and lives in Clifton Park, NY. Even though she had a great life, she felt this emptiness. She went through a great change in 1980. Joyce attended a Woman’s Aglow meeting and responded to an invitation to be prayed over to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. She was not sure what all that meant, but she was transformed and felt instantly healed from her past hurts. A few years later, she and her husband attended a Life in the Spirit Seminar, and her husband joined her in the quest to deepen their faith—strengthening their marriage in the process.

During the last 40 years, Joyce has found her joy in participating in several ministries and working alongside teens within the church. She loves going to Bible studies, healing services, healing conferences, and prayer meetings. Her love for the Lord and praying with people has played a big part in her life. She especially enjoys Bible study with her grandchildren, sharing how much God loves them and teaching scripture to them on family vacations.

Joyce’s favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11:

“For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

She opened her Bible to this scripture during a very dark time in her life, and it gave her hope in a time of utter despair. She has shared this scripture with many people in their time of need.

Joyce has been a member of St. Edward’s Pastoral Council for the past several years. She is also a standing member of the Advisory Board for the Albany Diocesan Catholic Charismatic Renewal since 1980. She participates in ministries such as serving as a Eucharistic Minister, Mary’s Ladies of the Knots Ministry, and sharing scripture and prayers during Hosanna Prayer Group.
