Welcome to the world Pax!

‘As one body in the shared gift of Eucharist, how will we love and minister to the needs of our world?’

‘The foundation for growth depends on our respect and appreciation of one another.’

‘How can I live in the week ahead with a more giving, loving spirit?’

Even though Cathy loved the Teen Star job, she felt a restlessness gnawing at her. Should she be a professional journalist or did Providence have other plans for her? 

‘This week, how can I spread the word of God and the knowledge of God’s unending love to those whom I meet?’

Congratulations to Sister Anna (Tsai Ping) Fan, SP! She said forever yes to life as a Sister of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods by professing her final vows in a ceremony on May 1, 2023 at St. Joseph the Worker Church in Hsinchu County, Taiwan. We are so blessed to have Sister Anna as part of our community!

I believe that God knows what is the best for me. I believe God wants me to take the journey that will enrich my life more and deeper. For almost nine years I have been a Sister of Providence. My vocation led me to leave my comfort zone and drew me closer to God.

‘We leave when people either stop coming or the food runs out.’

When a person is called to be a Sister of Providence, and responds to that call, beautiful things happen. The sister has time to really focus on and grow in God. She is led to look deeply at herself and grow in ways she never thought possible.

‘This is our mission too. We must teach the love of God to all.’

Mary’s own words in her Magnificat provide some answer: “from now on all generations will call me blessed.” We gather precisely because we are part of the present generation who wishes to call her blessed.
