Sister Dawn Tomaszewski is the general superior of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. These are some of her writings.

'Go, wake up the world!'

"Obedience, chastity, poverty — listening, loving, letting go. These are set before you today in a deeper way. And to return to the scripture for today — God is with you every step of the way."
Sister Dawn reflects at the vows ceremony for three Sisters of Providence.

'Thank you on behalf of all Sisters of Providence and especially those of us who are with you'

God comes to me like this all the time

It helped me to return to the original story to remind myself that right relationship is possible

You belong to this community in a special way. And we belong to each other. Together we belong to Providence. Together we are called to be Providence. The world needs us for this. And certainly, in light of all that has happened this week and in the weeks leading up to our national election as well as what may be required of us as a result of this election—our country needs us for this.
'Trust in the Providence of God that so far has never failed us'

May we never forget why she came here

Let us pray this gift for each other
