Do spirituality and technology connect?
...occur instantaneously. Communications from cyberspace saturate us and our world daily. Carrying wireless phones addicts millions to the notion that humans have to be connected 24/7. In The Church and New Media (Our Sunday Visitor,18), Brandon Vogt reports that YouTube “receives two billion views per day. Twitter has 190 million users [including Pope Francis] who generate 65 million new ‘tweets’ each day and the Internet features 200 million+ blogs.” Finding meaning in such a world can be a significant task....

Sister Luke Crawford
...went on Tuesdays. Sister Susan Dinnin went on Sundays. I went every week to 10 days and the three Dede sisters, Sisters Eileen, Mary Mark and Kathleen, went every Thursday. They always brought their dog for Sister Luke to enjoy. The Dede sisters organized a birthday party each of the two years Sister Luke was there and on Nov. 6, 2012, when she walked into the birthday room, she looked at them and said, “Where’s the dog?” That let all...
The Helping Hands thrift store: making a difference a quarter at a time
...justice is in her volunteer work at The Helping Hands thrift store. She’s been volunteering and helping on the board since 2007. “I feel like I’m doing God’s work. I see miracles happen every day here,” she said. It takes a lot of dedicated work and the collaboration of many, many caring volunteers to make all that possible. Visit the shop any day of the week, aside from Sunday, and you will find volunteers busy at work. They sort. They...
Sister Mary Tomlinson
...at a 7:30 a.m. Mass. It was Sunday morning and I’m in church. And I had kind of a reflection where I saw an image of myself walking down an aisle to take final vows. (I had recently read an article about a woman who became a sister when she was older.) When I saw myself like that, I laughed out loud right there in the 7:30 Mass that has very limited attendance.” Mary came back and told Sister Marilyn...
Sister Joanna Brown (formerly Sister Louis Marie)
...was happening as she died); at Sunday Liturgies, she regularly was a greeter or asking people to participate in the Offertory Procession and often took Communion to the organist, via the steep gallery steps. Wherever there was fun to share, Joanna was there: Johnnie Mae on the spot. Joanie carried out her “Pops” gift to Irish jigging, especially on St. Patrick’s Day and taught some of us. Sister Joanna enjoyed many travels and visits to her scattered family. One of...

Providence prayers for the journey of Advent
...lonely exile here, until a Liberator is near. Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Our freedom is at hand. The Dawn of Justice shines upon the land. Advent means coming (Latin adventus; Greek parousia): the coming of Emmanuel (God-with-us) into our lives, the coming of Providence into the universe. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Dec. 25, which in 2014 is today, Nov. 30. This start of the Christian liturgical year invites us to prepare for the coming of light, liberation, and...
Sister Edwardine McNulty
...McNulty, who died on Sunday, Jan. 18. She was 96 years old and had been a Sister of Providence for 78 years. Who of us would not be thrilled to be described after death as “a real community woman,” and as “universally loved,” and as “one of the most positive persons I’ve ever met.” Such were the words spoken of Edwardine by sisters who knew her, some for most of her life of 96 years. Veronica Eileen McNulty was born...
A call to change
...just haven’t felt I was very good at it. It’s not the giving up or giving more that seems to be the challenge. I can surely muster up the self-discipline for that, at least for 40 days – and all the Sundays that don’t even count. I think the challenge for me has always been the expectation (have I mentioned that I’m competitive?). Perhaps it’s that I don’t like change. That is what this is all about, isn’t it? Changing...
Sister Joanna Valentino (formerly Sister Marie Dominic)
...“When you’re blue, buy shoes.” Her formation days were quite unorthodox. One Sunday while visiting, her mother was told by the novitiate director that Joanna needed to leave and go home because she didn’t smile enough. She took her final vows two years earlier than prescribed by canon protocol in the 1960s and did not participate in a former tertian program because she convinced the General Superior she was ready and wanted to permanently profess vows as a Sister of...
