In a time when division feels louder than ever, this reflection asks whether unity is really about thinking alike — or about choosing love, listening, and shared purpose. Drawing from Scripture, community life, and the realities of our political moment, we'll reflect together on what it means to belong to Christ — and to each other. A thoughtful conversation about disagreement, courage, and the hard, holy work of belonging to one another.by Sister Leslie Keener, CDP

God tells Isaiah, “It is too little for you to be my servant.” That single line opens a powerful question for our own lives. In this Ordinary Time reflection, we explore the call to be a light—not by striving or performing, but by allowing God’s light to shine through us. This is an invitation into partnership, friendship, and a love that goes deeper than simply doing God’s bidding.

Do you really know that you’re God’s beloved? In this episode, we reflect on Jesus’s baptism and that unforgettable moment when God’s voice says, “You are my beloved.” That love isn’t just for Jesus—it’s for us too. When we let God’s love sink in, it brings peace, courage, and a bigger heart for the people around us. As the new year begins, let’s claim our belovedness and see how it can shape the way we live, pray, and love.

This Epiphany Gospel reflection looks beyond the familiardetails of the nativity to uncover a deeper truth: Jesus is born into a divided world to draw all people together. Reflecting on the Epiphany story in Matthew, we’ll reflect on how the magi reveal God’s wide embrace—and how we are called to live that belonging today.

This Feast of the Holy Family podcast offers a gentle, contemplative reflection on Matthew’s Gospel and the story of Joseph’s dreams, courage, and trust in God amid uncertainty. Three Sisters of Divine Providence pray with this lesser-seen side of the Christmas story—one marked by fear, flight, and faithful action. Together, they reflect on discernment, decision-making, and how God continues to speak in our lives today, even when we don’t know the whole picture. Join us for a prayerful pause to listen, trust, and follow God’s call one step at a time.

On this Gaudete Sunday, we pause in the middle of Advent to rediscover joy — even in the places of our lives that feel dry or overwhelmed. Today’s guided Lectio Divina uses Isaiah 35 to remind us that God comes close to strengthen, heal, and lift us up.

Join Sister Leslie for a calm, prayerful moment to breathe in hope and let joy rise quietly within you as Christmas approaches.

Perfect for anyone seeking peace, encouragement, and a gentle spiritual reset this Advent.

To enter this lovely Advent Season of waiting in joyful hope, we're going to mix it up a little on the podcast. Rather than the usual reflection, I’ll offer a guided prayer, a simple reflection on a Scripture passage. I'll share a few of my thoughts and also leave a space of silence for your prayer. I hope Spirit will speak to each of us, and you’re welcome to share your thoughts with me. Let’s hold each other in prayer over these sacred days.
