Today we are blessed to have Sister Theresa Milne, IHM, with us. This is one of the videos that I took when I was home in Monroe. Sister Terry responds to one of your Nun Questions.
What particular spiritual practice is most important to you in your walk with the Lord and why?” (from deerose)
In this video Sister Terry talks about the simple prayer of saying “yes” and “thank you” to God.
The two books that Sister Terry mentions are as follows:
- Abandonment to Divine Providence
by Jean-Pierre de Caussade
- Thank God Ahead of Time: The Life and Spirituality of Solanus Casey
by Michael Crosby
Sister Theresa Milne, IHM, is a Catholic nun belonging to the Immaculate Heart of Mary congregation. Sister Theresa lives at our IHM Motherhouse in Monroe, Michigan.

That book, “Abandonment to Divine Providence” also had a profound effect on me. I read it before I entered…and found that a lot of the spiritual principles were spot on with the CSSJ (Sisters of St. Joseph) charism.

Amen Sister Terry! I agree with you. Something simple and coming from the heart is the best.

“Abandonment to Divine Providence” is one of my favorite books and definitely a book to read and re-read. It has sparked this daily prayer in my heart, “I humbly and reverently receive this day and all that it holds from Your hand…O Spirit of Holiness enable me to truly receive it and walk with humility, gentleness and love.” By the way, it has been renamed, “The Sacrament of the Present Moment.”
