The Providence Podcast
Welcome to the Providence Podcast! With each episode, we deepen our spirituality and connect it with our lives as we reflect on Scripture and what it mean to us. The Providence Podcast is brought to you by the Sisters of Divine Providence of Kentucky, an international community of Catholic Sisters with a mission to be witnesses of God's Providence, extending God's love and through the works of mercy. Connect with the sisters at CDPKentucky.org and through our outreach ministry, God Space, a spiritual community that builds connection through prayer, sharing, and service.

As we play, rest, work hard, suffer, and hope, God is present, caring for us with deep tenderness. God comes with us, and we accompany each other too. Like the Trinity, we are one, and we live this life together.

When we’re at our best, noticing and appreciating each other’s gifts, and our own gifts too, our community is better for it. Loving the diversity of gifts we have, and the diverse people who have them, makes us one, as God is one.

In our Gospel reading, Jesus offers his disciples peace and tells them, “Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid.” That sounds nice, but can people really keep emotions like fear or worry from entering our hearts? And how is God with us when we do experience strong feelings?

God cared for the first Christians in their time of distress, and God is caring for us too. We, too, will navigate through it, and as we’re dealing with it all, why not give ourselves over to the comfort of God’s care?

Our times are uncertain and institutions are deconstructing, and we don’t know what’s going to happen, but God has called us into mission. Christ is still saying to each one of us every day: "Do you love me? Follow me."

I’ve heard it said that questioning is okay but doubting is wrong, but I think doubting is okay too. God doesn’t seem to mind when we doubt. In fact, doubt can be an opening for God to come closer and show us God’s love and care; it can be a means to transformation.

Darkness and light are neither good nor bad; they’re both parts of the whole. We can’t consider suffering apart from resurrection, and we can only enter into resurrection joy while bearing the experience of suffering. Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death and resurrection? Christ is with us in darkness and light.

Maybe we, too, need to move through this time of disintegration. As things unravel and one struggle after another emerges, it can feel disconcerting and frightening. But that doesn’t mean God has abandoned us. We are living into this story, the beauty and the heartbreak and the love and betrayal. Jesus’s story is our story too.

Not only does transformation always come, whether I want it to or not, but God’s love is in that movement, whether I see it or not. And God invites me to see it. “See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”

What if we stopped worrying about worthiness? God, with great pleasure, wastes God’s big, crazy love on us, like a giant waterfall. What if we were to simply receive God’s abundant love and mercy?

Welcome to a special episode of the Providence Podcast. Instead of our usual Scripture reflection, we’ll be doing an interview about engagement, service, and working with nonprofits. I know there are a lot of people who want to get involved with making the world a better place, and Godknows we need that! So we’ll be talking about that today – some of the gifts of volunteering and how to follow a call to get involved, whether that’s...
We stay open to what comes, enjoying the heights, living into the depths, and being present to where God is moment by moment, even when the ground is just . . . level.

We each have the ability to produce good fruit, to act out of the goodness – the God-ness – inside of us, but we also have it in us to act out of what’s not of God. Our decisions to do good, to move in the direction of the Spirit (or not) reflects who we are. How do we choose to bear good fruit?

We are lavishly loved and blessed. What we put out into the world may have a cause and effect dynamic, or it may not. However, the more good we do, the more we become people who do good, and the more we become magnanimous, like God is.
