Welcome to the Providence Podcast from the Sisters of Divine Providence! Each week, women bring their voices and perspectives to scripture, exploring how ancient stories speak to the questions, joys, struggles, relationships, and hopes of our lives today. Through scripture reflection, contemplative practices, and honest conversations, we explore Catholic faith and spirituality, justice, belonging, and the places where God meets us in ordinary life.
Rooted in the Catholic tradition and open to seekers of all kinds, Providence Podcast is for people who love their faith, wrestle with their faith, are finding their way back to faith, or simply have questions.
You don’t have to have all the answers. Come as you are. There is room for your story.

It Is Too Little: When God Invites Us Into More, Summer Sabbath Series, Providence Podcast
/
Summer gives us a chance to slow down and listen again. In this Summer Sabbath Series episode, we revisit a reflection on Isaiah's surprising claim that being God's servant is "too little." Together, we'll explore what it means to move beyond simply doing God's work and into a deeper relationship with God. As you listen, consider where God might be inviting you into more—not more activity, but more connection, more trust, and more light.

The baptism story is about us too. God wants us to know that we’re beloved. If we were to just spend a little time each day recognizing God’s love and basking in it, we would take it in a little bit and probably share it too. The world is dry and brittle in its longing for love; any sparks we send out would likely catch and spread.

We can be filled with hope and wonder at Advent again because the Christ, God-with-us. Is. Still. With. Us. And has never left us. We long for this presence, and maybe that longing is the root of all our longings, and each year as Advent brings us to Christmas, we can remember that God does bring fulfillment to our longing.
