From peaches to Poe
...in words like “detestable putrescence.” It seems to be known particularly for just how gross it is, as one of the first sensationally gory stories. It’s probably safe to say that Mother Theodore (who may or may not have been aware of Poe) would not have been a fan. But I think it’s super neat that this whole ordeal puts her only two degrees away from the author. You really never do know what you’ll learn on any given day....
Sister Marie Kevin Tighe
...became an eight-year assignment, through 1992. During this period, she moved around a cluster of parish steeples in the 39 counties comprising the archdiocese. One of the priests of the archdiocese wrote us a few days ago, “Marie Kevin was a wonderful example of the life that Jesus wants us to live. Her energy in serving was fantastic to witness. I saw total spirituality in all her work.” Indeed. The headline introducing the article about Marie Kevin in the Wednesday,...
Letter: Jan. 13, 1853
...This is probably one of my (many) favorite quotes from Mother Theodore for several reasons, but I will name two. The first reason is because I respect Mother Theodore for not ridiculing others for their mistakes. Instead, she uses a positive reinforcement method, which I am a huge fan of. She simply acknowledges faults (including her own), and then encourages others to move on with life. The second reason is because this is a piece of advice that can be...

All Saints Day
As a kid, saints always fascinated me. I liked hearing their stories from my Sister of Providence teachers and reading their stories on my own. The martyrs, in my young mind, were the best! I really liked those stories and reveled in the fantasy that someday I, too, would die for my faith, just as they did — burned at the stake or fed to the lions. Well, forget that! Reality soon set in and with it a desire to...
Providence Associate Jane Fischer: peace and quiet from trust in Providence
...direction, I often hear Peggy saying: Listen! And, oh! What I have heard! She has a conversational method of teaching and guidance, and she seems to drop names of authors and new topics and vocabulary just toward the end of our meetings — this makes me anxious to get back home and start exploring more. I am not a fan of mystery novels, but she sure knows how to pique my interest in exploring the new! What have you gained...
Stitching a thanksgiving “quilt of words” together
...Praying, a Thanksgiving prayer included in our monthly SP mailing that goes to all of our local communities and lastly, a “holy card” that slipped out of a book I had been reading months ago, stopped reading and just picked up today. In the end, the little card is the scrap that caught my fancy and started me stitching my word crazy quilt together. Allow me to empty before you my basket of scraps. I leave it to you, dear...
How will you live out her words?
It’s a new year’s resolution! Who’s in it with me? Well, friends, it’s that time of year again–the beginning of the year. It’s time to make another New Year’s Resolution! To be honest, I have never made an official New Year’s Resolution. I’ve never been a fan of setting myself up for failure … but on the other hand, making a point to put all of your trust in God can’t possibly set you up for failure. As I sit...
