A Blessing for the Marie Brendan Harvey Auditorium
...about to be made new through the reception of a beloved name and by the memories that name invokes. So, close your eyes now … and bring to mind a memory. No doubt most of you here tonight hold a memory dear Of a time when you appeared on this stage and received a diploma or applause; A time when what unfolded in this space moved you to tears, or filled you with awe or released a guffaw as you...
Reflections for one of our Asian Sisters perpetual vows
...school in Manila. Perhaps it is because we are here that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the words of the German statesmen Goethe are true: “That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision – that no one could have dreamed would come his or her way. “Whatever you can do,...
‘Like Mary, you have given birth’
...the Holy One show the way. I would like to think that this is the journey to which each of our Jubilarians committed herself some 60, 70 and 75 years ago — to follow the path marked out by Providence. This path has, no doubt, shaped your outward journey through these years. But perhaps more importantly, trust in Providence has effected an inner transformation. We thank you, Jubilarians, for showing us the way through the witness of your lives....
January 21, 2024: Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
...continuing God’s mission. But for now, we see ordinary men ready for what they know not. Yet, they follow. I doubt that they dropped everything; I am sure they returned to fishing periodically as they followed the Master. In the midst of their vocation as fishermen, they took up the work of discipleship. And so it is with us. We have been baptized in Christ and we continue on the path of Christian living. While life is ordinary in so...
February 4, 2024: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
...pretty apt description of life for so many. And yet, my struggles, while perhaps greater than the struggles of some, are nothing for others. Even so, in that moment of contention with whatever it is, I doubt we spend much time comparison shopping with the person down the street. In today’s Gospel passage from Mark, Jesus is going about the work of healing, and we’re given the case of Simon’s mother-in-law. A woman responsible for home and family in these...
Oral history: Sister Kathleen Desautels, change maker
...they had been when Saint Mother Theodore Guerin arrived in Indiana. Those issues could be divisive without a doubt, but Kak reported that she had found sitting and discussing issues brought mutual respect, if not agreement. The Million Woman March. The School of the Americas (now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). The Persian Gulf War. Women’s health care. To name a few. “Woman in this country is only yet one-fourth of the family. I hope that, through...
May 26, 2024: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Gospel: Matthew 28: 16-20 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I...
Sister Mary Catherine Keene
...we will hear several themes or motifs repeated throughout. Her friends, her ministry partners, her band members and her family all describe Mary Catherine as incredibly creative, artistic, warm, friendly, bubbly and filled with boundless imagination. As Sister Jeremy Gallet put it, “She was a true Renaissance woman who had an enormous ability to think outside the box.” In fact, Jeremy wrote, “I doubt if she knew there actually was a box!” Her band member, Sister Sharon Richards, said of...

...them. That people may no longer live in fear, doubt or despair but in joy and hope that never ends. Monsignor James Shea shared that, “We will either feed on God or on something else. And whatever that something else is, it will always leave us hungry. Rush out into a starving world and tell everybody we meet, ‘Starving people, listen! We found where the food is!’” A New Beginning “Realize that as you gaze on Jesus in that moment,...
A Reflection for the 2024 Foundation Day Mass
...about that moment: “I may say, however, that I was not at all alarmed. When one has nothing more to lose, the heart is inaccessible to fear. … When one has nothing more to lose, the heart is inaccessible to fear.” What is the source of her fearlessness? Total dependence upon Providence, no doubt. She has nothing more to lose because she has surrendered all to Providence. I want to suggest that this is the clarion call coming from the...
A Thriving Community and Mission: Evolution from the Sisters of Providence to the Providence Community
...arrived, their call was to establish a religious community that would respond to the needs of that time. In 1840 Indiana, this meant the education and religious formation of girls and care of the sick and poor. Almost immediately these missionaries had to adapt to meet the evolving needs they found in Indiana. They taught boys, opened an orphanage and a pharmacy and established schools in places where growth was doubtful. A Response to Immigrant Education During the 1800s in...
