Providence

Providence has been traditionally known as God’s loving care for all that God has made. This is difficult to see at times with so much violence in our world today, both what we inflict upon each other and on our planet-home. Nevertheless, Providence is in that chaos because Providence is that name of God which can hold these conflicting polarities and movements of life in creative tension eventually bringing forth meaning and harmony.

As St. Vincent de Paul says:
“Let us abandon ourselves to the Providence of God and be very careful not to run ahead of it.”
