Life-changing technology
The Sisters of Providence as a group have witnessed a lot of technological growth over the years.

Reflections from our Golden Jubilees
...country conducting workshops for our sisters sprung from the renewal called for by Vatican II. It was a privilege for me to meet almost all of our 1,400-plus members at that time. It was also a time of personal growth in spirituality and theology building upon my years of formal education (1964-69) when we had Sisters of Providence theologians and scripture scholars as teachers.

I think about the men hanging with Jesus, grateful perhaps that they did not have to die alone or with nails piercing their hands and feet. I even consider Pontius Pilate, the authority figure who could have as easily dismissed the charges against Jesus as given in to the cries of the mob demanding...
