Spirit of the Living God, look with love and compassion on us, your creation. Open our hearts and minds to see how we can serve you more. The early Christians were recognized immediately by their deep and abiding love for one another. O Holy Spirit, assist us to live so that people will look upon us with that same recognition. We ask for a spirit of abandonment to Divine Providence today and every day. We ask the intercession of Mary, Our Mother, and all of our patron Saints to intercede for us. We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Welcome to the vocation website for the Oblate Sisters of Providence
Thank you for your prayers for vocations to our Congregation. I currently communicate with 20 women. They range in age from late 20s to early 40s and live in California, Wisconsin, Botswana, Syria, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria and Uganda. The Sisters continue to pray that these women will join the long line of foreign-born women who have joined the Oblate Sisters of Providence. This month we feature the vocation story of Sister Mercia Delgado, OSP. As a native of Cuba, Sister Mercia is another woman who met our Sisters on the missions and decided to join the community.
