Prayer and Spirituality

Providentia providebit. Providence provides. I learned the phrase from the Oblate Sisters of Providence when I first met them over 10 years ago. As I’ve gotten to know them through the years, heard their stories, worked side by side with them, and listened to how Providence is alive in their lives and congregation, my own spirituality and indeed how I see my IHM life and tradition has grown, helping me to see that Providence pervades my whole life.

Pope Francis calls us to become aware of and dare to turn what is happening to the world into our own personal suffering and, in so doing, discover what each of us can do about it. Like the young boy in the story, we have dared to let the pain of our Mother Earth penetrate our hearts.

Advent is a season of quiet recollection -- despite the chaos of holiday planning.

Advent 2020 is here and invites us into a deeper journey with God. How can we prepare for it? Check out our resources!

We Sisters choose to meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
