Little Things

As the world “pauses,”
My heavy heart seeks hope,
And my weary soul wonders, “How long?”
In the midst of what seems dark,
The Lord responds with tender words,
“Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5).
Perceiving His presence within and around me
I rest for a moment
To receive what He offers
New eyes to see the little things:
The silver sliver of the moon
The turtledoves nesting, twig by twig
The flowering colors of spring
New ears to hear the little things:
“Good morning” from a passing stranger
The soothing voice of one familiar
His whispers in the stillness
New heart to know the little things:
The need for Another
The priority of prayer
The gift of having less
New mind to think the little things:
This too shall pass
One day at a time
I am not alone
New voice to speak the little things:
How are you
I’m sorry
I love you
And with gratitude I realize as this new grace rises
That the things I thought were so little
Need not be little anymore.
Sr. Catherine Mary, CFR
