Where in the world is Suor Cristina?

Remember when Sister Cristina said she was going to bring God to people who had never known Him and convert them?  Here she is in Japan spreading the New Evangelization by way of eating potato chips!

RocketNews24 (R): All right, let’s start the taste test!
0:42
Cristina (C): Pretty much any chip is probably going to be good. (Eats.) This is my first time experiencing this kind of flavor, but it’s good.
RocketNews24 (R): Thank you. This next one is a little spicy.
C: (Eats.) Oh. Yes. Good, but definitely spicy. Water please! (Eats the next one.) I can’t even tell my mouth is still burning. (Drinks.) Okay, I’ll try another. (Eats.) Oh yeah, this is a pretty typical chip I think.
R: Well this next one is pretty different.
C: (Eats.) Definitely different. What is it?
R: It’s wasabi.
C: Ah that’s why I like it. I love wasabi. I’ll have another. (Eats.)
R: Okay, last one.
C: (Eats.) This is an interesting flavor. I’ll try another. (Eats.) It’s new for me. It tastes like it has onions or something.
R: It’s sour cream and onion.
C: It’s good. All right, here’s my ranking. Although I think you already know what my number one is. Take a guess.
R: Wasabi beef?
C: Oh yes. That’s number one. The spicy one is number two. Third is the pizza one. Then the consommé one, that was my first time trying that, so it’s number four. Then sour cream and onion, and the classic one in last place. The wasabi one is very good, I want to come back to Japan and have it again. Thank you!
R: Thank you very much.




Again, here’s the official Sister Cristina ranking of Japanese chips:
#1: Wasabiifu (wasabi and beef flavor)
#2: Karamuucho (hot chili flavor)
#3: Piza Poteto (pizza flavor)
#4: Poteto Chippusu (consommé punch)

Announcer (A): So what are your first impressions of Japan?
Cristina (C): It’s a country with a wonderful culture. Everything is so organized and orderly.
A: Have you tried any Japanese food?
C: I’ve had sushi before in Italy, but I’m looking forward to trying the authentic Japanese version here.
A: Ah, so you haven’t had any yet. Well please give it a try! We’ve also heard that you’ve been singing since you were a child.
C: I’ve loved singing ever since I was little. My passion for singing gives me energy for life.
A: Did your love of music have anything to do with you choosing to become a nun?
C: When I decided to become a nun, it was like I was hit by lighting. I was hit by God’s love, and it was so powerful I had to do something to respond to it.

12:26
A: We heard that at the beginning, there was some resistance against a nun singing pop music.
C: Yes, I was conflicted at the beginning too, wondering if faith and music can go hand in hand. But after working as a missionary in Brazil for two years, I came to the realization that faith and art can work together, that they are one in the same.
A: How did you feel first appearing on The Voice?
(Balloon pops.)
C: I felt like that! (the pop) I was very nervous at first. I was worried about whether everyone listening would accept the message I was trying to convey. And when I finally ended up winning, I don’t think it was myself that won necessarily, but rather that message I was trying to convey to everyone instead.

23:00
A: She’s cute, isn’t she!
C: Thank you.
A: So we heard that you’re donating the profits from this worldwide hit album of yours?
C: Yes, the profits will all be used to help with the social work that the order I belong to does, as well as future projects to help children and families around the world.
A: All right, so our last question: what kind of singer do you want to be?
C: I want to be a nun who sings, that’s all.
A: Well please continue to keep singing then, we love hearing you.
C: My singing is all thanks to God, so I will keep going for as long as I have his blessing to do so.
A: Thank you very much. We’re looking forward to hearing you more.
C: Thank you.

25:11
A: That’s the end of the questions, but now we’d like to have a “mini confessional,” where Sister Cristina can respond to problems given to us on Twitter and from the audience. Our first question is: “What should I do when I’m feeling depressed or frustrated?”
C: When I’m feeling down, I know that my whole body is down. I’m looking down, I feel bad inside, so what I try to do is look forward instead. I recommend looking up, keep walking forward, and trying to change your perspective a bit.
A: Thank you. Our next question: “My father recently passed away and I can’t get over it. What should I do?”
C: That is certainly a difficult time to go through. But thinking about it another way, your father is now at peace in Heaven. Like I said before, it might be best to try not to look down and focus on your own problems, but perhaps look around at the problems of others around you. Trying to help them and making them feel better will help you feel better as well.
A: Thank you. Next question: “No matter what I do, I can’t stop eating chips before I go to bed. What should I do?”
C: Maybe you should try eating something less oily than chips, like vegetables perhaps. If you eat oily things before bed then you probably won’t sleep well, and since I don’t think you want that, focus on being healthy instead. If you really want to eat those chips, then maybe enjoy them during lunch instead.
A: I think you’re giving the people who asked these questions a lot to think about! By the way, do you eat chips?
C: At the order we make lots of food with potatoes – boiled, fried – so I’m a fan of potatoes in all forms.

32:00
A: All right, last question: “I have a 20-year-old son obsessed with anime and not interested in girls. I’m worry I won’t have any grandchildren. What can I do to get him interested in women?”
C: There’s no need to worry. He’s only 20, so he still has plenty of time. I think that love is something that can come even if you’re not out actively looking for it.
A: Ah, what great answers. Thank you so much everyone who shared their troubles with us, and thank you Sister Cristina for taking the time to answer them.
C: Thank you.

A: Thank you very much. So everyone, what did you think of Sister Cristina’s live concert? Thank you for such wonderful music! Would you like to say something at the end here?
C: I feel very privileged to be able to come to Japan, and I’m very happy to have met you all here today. It has been a wonderful experience. Thank you all very much.
A: Thank you! Let’s give her a round of applause. One more time, that was Sister Cristina!
C: Thank you very much. Bye bye!
