Providence
In a recent blog, Christin
Tomy asked,” How has Providence pulled through for you?” And so here is my
answer.
My 5th and 6th
grade teacher, Loretta Dornisch OP died recently. She is
the one who helped me to see that God was calling me to be a Dominican. This was one funeral I would not miss.
When I went to take my
place in the gathering space at the Mound for the funeral, I looked up and saw someone
who has created conflict in a group that is very dear to me. I practically ran to greet him. “Welcome to my
house,” I said.” How did you know Loretta?”
“She is the one who helped me to see that God was calling me to be a
minister. I could not miss this funeral.”
WOW! Coincidence?
I had wanted to share my
concerns about our organization with him.
Providence can provide. Since
this was his first time at the Mound I offered to show him the chapel. We had space and time to talk. Providence did provide. There are still reconciling steps needed for
our organization. Providence will
provide. I’m sure Loretta is smiling at
us too, and interceding with the all provident God on our behalf.
