In all my years being raised by a (Sisters of the Sacred Heart as well as Irish) Catholic mother, and going to Catholic church, and having to attend Catechism classes, I have never heard of any special connotations concerning the word “providence,” except maybe when the Bible points it out as ”...Divine guidance or care; also, an act or instance of it. ...”, which is, and, or was, nothing special in the eyes of the Catholic church, as I understand or understood it.
