The Fragility of Life

Published on November 15, 2012

Gradually light comes and on this snowy day stretches tree shadows toward me and warms me and the cats curled in their cozy corners. We are at home in…

Motherhood and Our Lady of Providence

Published on April 15, 2018

…and intense conflict with a Bishop who imprisoned her and ex-communicated her! What I found so remarkable is that through each of these trials and hardships, Saint Mother Theodore only grew stronger in her faith and more determined to cling to the Lord. She often referred to Providence. Learning about her life and her struggles was eye-opening and a point of connection for me. After moving from France, she lived in Indiana, just along the Wabash River, the same river…
