Sisters standing by to receive your prayer requests

Back against the wall? Lose your job? Fearful of a health issue? Want to give thanks for your blessings?

When you turn to prayer through the Sisters of Providence website, you turn to Sister Nancy Nolan, former general superior.

Sister Nancy began receiving and acting upon prayer requests in mid-January and she said recently that she has received more than 250 through the Congregation’s website. She hears about tough times: depression, a man’s daughter who died in an accident, a father’s health, parents who lost a son.

“I try to determine the best place for their prayer requests. If it’s a family problem, I might pass it along to the Our Lady of Providence Shrine because under her title of Queen of the Home, maybe we can obtain the graces the family wants. If it’s illness, I will take it to the Shrine of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. We have sisters praying daily,” Sister Nancy said.

“It’s not just a job for me. I try to offer a personal touch. I try to let them know there is always hope. I tell them to trust in God’s love. It’s amazing how many will respond and offer  their thanks,” she added.

Have you ever made a prayer request with the Sisters of Providence? Have you ever prayed with the Sisters of Providence for others' intentions? Would you join in prayer for those on the Congregation's prayer list?
