As our time gets filled with events and shopping and get-togethers with our families and friends, may we also find the time to sit quietly, experiencing the inner rhythm of God in our lives.

Our Provident God is at hand and asks us to ponder what the Word made flesh really means today.  For the Women of Providence in Collaboration, our Sisters and Associates, Advent is a call to listen to the inner rhythm of God, to slow down the pace a bit and take time to notice the providence moments in our everyday lives.
