May we dare to hope that our own works of mercy will help “to beat swords into plough shares.” May we dare to pray again our Litany of Non-Violence — especially these words: God of love, mercy and justice, acknowledging my complicity in those attitudes, actions and words which perpetuate violence, I beg the grace of a non-violent heart. Find the complete Litany of Non-Violence online here. (Originally published in the Spring 2016 issue of HOPE magazine.)…

Providence Associate connects to the Woods

Published on June 18, 2016

…involved with the Sisters of Providence. (Virginia was a great director. She is greatly missed.) It took me a year longer than the average candidate to become a Providence Associate. Life definitely got in the way many times, but thankfully I had Sister Jeanne Hagelskamp as my sister companion.

Reflections from the 2018 Golden/Silver Jubilee Celebration

Published on July 3, 2018

…a less tumultuous time in the world, but the choice to enter religious life in 1993 was no longer something many Catholic women were doing. Why would Pat Linehan, after a 25-year career as a Navy Nurse, seek religious life? Why would Kathleen Bernadette Smith, an accomplished musician and a pastoral presence in her own African American community, seek life in a predominately white Providence community? It would be easy for me to say that the answer to these questions

Wisdom and the future of religious life

Published on September 20, 2019

“You don’t have anyone coming in, do you?” “Pretty soon there won’t be any nuns, right?” Each Sister of Providence has heard these questions countless times. We Sisters of Providence don’t believe religious life is dead. Our lifestyle has changed over three centuries. None of us doubts it will continue to change. None of us doubts that what emerges as religious life may well be radically different from what it is now. That we cannot see how religious life will
