Small Matters
You
are a small instrument, just like the little match that you hold in your hand.
Do not be surprised by what I tell you. With one strike of the match, I will
enkindle in millions of souls the Flame of Love of My Mother.” (Jesus) (January
16, 1966 )
Today’s Readings: The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones; (Luke 16)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, sometimes You trust us with small matters first. We ask You to use us or to be kind and loving to others and those small opportunities come to us in unexpected ways. The whining child who is on our last nerve but really needs a hug more than anything. The elderly person in front of us in the express check out with twenty items when we are running late. The coworker who needs five minutes of our time because their life is falling apart and they really need to talk but we are on a strict deadline. How many times Lord have we failed in those situations- been impatient, lost our cool, or been too busy. But Lord if we let You use us s in these small matters we can be the spark that enkindles the Flame of Love in the hearts of those around us. Lord help us always be attentive to small matters so that You can then trust us with great ones for Your Glory!
