HOPE summer 2017 — I’ll meet you in the field

In the summer 2017 issue of the Sisters of Providence HOPE magazine we reflect on the spirituality of coming together despite all that divides us, ways that we can peacefully engage with others of differing views and ways to work toward common good.

I’ll meet you in the field: the spirituality of coming together

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is
too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the
phrase each other doesn’t make any sense. — Rumi
Sister Ann Sullivan reflects on the spirituality of coming together across divides.

HOPE winter 2017 — bearing the light in unbearable times

Our sisters live and serve among the marginalized. We serve people in need. People without a voice. People easy to overlook. In this issue of HOPE we invite you to take a look at some of our stories. At how we and you our partners are helping and advocating for people and a planet in need. We invite you to join us in bearing the light. Be with us a light for someone else. Together, we can make this world a brighter place.

Saint Mother Theodore Guerin: bearing the light still today

Saint Mother Theodore's story is still very relevant today. She was an immigrant. She came to a foreign land where she didn’t know the language and where there was a lot of prejudice and bias toward Catholics and toward women. There are just so many parallels to what she faced and what she endured that are still around today. She’s a great model and mentor.
