CNN story again features Sisters of Providence, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin
Whoever said our Provident God works in mysterious ways certainly was a wise observer.
What made Andrew Domini channel surf during a television commercial only to find on CNN the documentary about Saint Mother Theodore Guerin’s path to sainthood?
What prompted Andrew to make a pilgrimage walk to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods for a sick friend, calling it a sacrifice?
Andrew is a very humble, intelligent young man, and very articulate. That’s a good thing. He has shared his story with several media, including CNN, where it all began. CNN producer Jen Christensen recently interviewed Andrew and you can see her story here.
Most assuredly, the spirit of Providence was with Andrew as he made his journey, then was called upon to share his story with many others.
How has God guided you to meaningful moments in your life? Have you prayed to Saint Mother Theodore for intervention? What great mysteries have revealed themselves to you on your life’s journey?
