Novice Sister’s new Ministry: Blessing upon Blessing
...helps them label their emotions,” said Sister Stephanie. There was a child who was upset because she had dropped her sandwich on the pavement at lunch and she was hungry. “After the child was able to express why she was upset, to brighten her day, I let her choose a sticker from my collection that I carry with me. Afterward, I was able to speak with the teacher about it and see how they could help.” On the move This...

Today, attending public events such as celebrations, parades, rallies, or even simply going to school can cause some concern. Indeed, violence in words and deeds is all around us. And yet, goodness is also all around us. Words matter. Every time we use derogatory words to label and dehumanize or deprive other persons of opportunities we choose for ourselves, we increase the possibility...
Auschwitz-Birkenau
...feel it. The presence of the dead who now live in Spirit is with you. You see their photos and know that it could be you; it could be your children; it could be me. The parallels are our perils. The labeling of the “other” as vermin and a list of horrid names sets the stage for a loss of freedom and liberty to say nothing of the loss of humanity. The images are seared on my soul. If you think this...

...out to be just that. Years later, she wrote “I love being a Sister of Providence. It is truly a gift from God.” Several years ago, the local fire department here said that all the roads in the area had to be named and labeled so that properties could be located in case of emergency. For one little street in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods Village, with maybe eight houses in its total length, the neighbors decided theirs should be named “Mary Lane.”...

On policing and Providence
Sister Pat Mahoney outside the District 22 police station in Chicago where she volunteers. From the way Sister Pat Mahoney greets the receptionist and walks right through the gate labeled “POLICE USE ONLY,” it is apparent that she feels right at home. Still, Sister Pat laughs, she never guessed she would volunteer at a police station. “But I never thought I’d leave teaching or stop wearing the habit when I entered religious life, either.” Sister Pat, a volunteer with the...

...her. Then, when her persistent pleas didn’t stop, he claimed that she was not one of his sheep. In the back and forth with the Canaanite woman, Jesus repeatedly makes excuses for not helping her and even seems to label her as unworthy. The woman’s famous response, “but even the dogs get to eat the scraps that fall from the table,” is not a testament to Jesus’ mercy, but to her own faith and persistence. So where was Jesus’ perfect...

The three panels of this mural could be labeled: LEAVING, LEARNING, LIBERATING. Today, we shine a light on one particular follower of Jesus – our Sister Joni Luna – as she professes first vows as a woman religious, as a Sister of Providence. Joni’s life journey has been all about leaving, learning and liberating. Like...
