Stories about

Providence Spirituality

“The God of Providence carries the entire mystery of the divine, ever trustworthy, never failing. The God of Providence offers all the possibilities for ourselves and the world, including both what God wants to happen and what God is willing to let happen because God honors the gift of human freedom. The choices are ours — truly free, but ever grounded in the grace of God, the Holy Mystery of Providence, about which there is ever more to be discovered.” – Sister Ruth Eileen Dwyer

Be here now

Seeing or even acknowledging God’s presence in each of my moments has seldom come easily for me. It’s something I have been puzzling over and praying for and doing my best to practice for my 50+ years as a Sister of Providence.
