Providence Spirituality
“The God of Providence carries the entire mystery of the divine, ever trustworthy, never failing.

Reflections from the 2018 Golden/Silver Jubilee Celebration
Obedience in this day may mean to speak publicly about the ills of our society, to cast down the mighty from their thrones and lift up the lowly, to give the hungry good things and send the rich away empty-handed. To stand, as our Pope Francis suggests over and over again, with those on the margins. And if we are going to stand on the margins, we may have to move, to leave behind all that has become familiar and comfortable for the sake of the reign of God.
