A Prayer for the 175th Anniversary of the Sisters of Providence

O Holy One,
I pray in gratitude for Saint Mother Theodore and her companions who established a home at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. I am grateful for all those who followed in their footsteps and committed themselves to furthering Your designs. I pray for the grace to build on their legacy as so many have done throughout the world. May all who are rooted in the charism of Providence be faithful to the path marked out for this place and time. May we journey into the future with confidence in the Providence that so far has never failed us.
Amen.

Ô Dieu Saint,
Je te rends grâce de nous avoir envoyé Sainte Mère Théodore et ses compagnes qui fondèrent une congrégation à Sainte Marie des Bois. Je te rends grâce pour tous ceux et celles qui ont suivi leurs pas et se sont engagés à faire se réaliser tes projets. Je prie pour obtenir la grâce de faire progresser leur héritage comme tant d’autres l’ont fait à travers le monde. Puissent tous ceux qui sont pénétrés du charisme de la Providence être fidèles à la voie tracée conduisant à cet endroit et à notre temps. Puissions-nous voyager vers l’avenir avec confiance en la Providence qui jusqu’ici ne nous a jamais abandonnés.
Amen.

O Santísimo,
Oro en gratitud por la Santa Madre Theodore y sus acompañantes que establecieron un hogar en Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Estoy agradecida por aquellos que siguieron sus pasos y se comprometieron a promover Tus intenciones. Oro por la gracia de edificar sobre tu legado como muchos alrededor del mundo lo han hecho. Permite que todos los que hayan enraizado en el carisma de la Providencia sean fieles al camino marcado por este tiempo y lugar. Que podamos caminar hacia el futuro con la confianza en la Providencia que hasta ahora nunca nos ha fallado.
Amén.

哦, 至聖者,
我滿懷對聖迪奧多姆姆及她的同伴們的感恩之心而祈禱
她們在印第安那.聖瑪利森林建立了一個家。
我對所有追隨她的足跡和致力於弘揚禰計劃的人們充滿感激。
我祈求禰的恩寵
以拓展他們延伸到世界各地的基業。
願所有紮根于主顧會特徵的人們
能忠實于為此時此地而抅劃的途徑。
在從未讓我們失望過的主顧天主之庇佑下
願我們帶著信心走向未來。阿門
