The One Lost Glove

The One Lost Glove

“Peace be upon you. We are in Day 7 of Advent,
and welcome to Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where the small moments of daily life
help us prepare our hearts for Christmas.”


“Today’s story begins on a cold winter bench…
with a single forgotten glove.”


“It was a freezing December afternoon.
People rushed through the park,
heads down, collars up, hands buried in pockets.
On one bench lay a single wool glove —
soaked from the snow, muddy from footprints,
ignored by everyone passing by.
Most didn’t even look at it.
But one woman stopped.
Something about that lonely glove
made her pause.
She picked it up gently,
brushed off the snow,
and placed it on the back of the bench
where it could be easily seen.
An hour later,
an elderly man hurried toward the bench,
eyes scanning desperately.
When he saw the glove —
his glove —
he exhaled like someone finding
a small piece of himself again.
He slipped it onto his trembling hand
and whispered,
‘Thank God… someone cared enough to notice.’”


“Sometimes we feel like that lost glove —
dropped, forgotten, overlooked,
sitting in life’s cold places
hoping someone cares enough to notice.
There are days when we feel misplaced
in our families,
in our friendships,
even in our own hearts.
But Advent tells us this truth:
God always notices.
God always searches.
God always draws near
to the ones who feel left behind.
You are never the forgotten glove on the bench.
You are the one Christ comes looking for —
patiently, persistently, lovingly.
And He will place you back
where you belong,
warming your spirit
with His steady presence.”


“So today, take a moment and ask yourself:
‘Where do I feel lost or unseen?
And can I trust that God is searching for me there?’
Let Him find you.
Let Him lift you gently.
And whisper this Advent prayer:
‘Lord, thank You for noticing me when I feel forgotten.’
This is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic.
May you feel held, found, and warmed today.”

Episode 05 The Parable of the Talents

Have you ever wondered how Jesus' teachings can guide us daily? Welcome to '2 Minutes with the Lord,' a space where we delve into these teachings and uncover their relevance. I'm Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we're exploring The Parable of the Talents. This powerful story challenges us to reflect on how we use our God-given gifts and resources. In the Gospel of Matthew 25:14–30, Jesus tells a story about a person embarking on a journey who entrusts his property to his servants. To one, he gives five talents; to another, two; and to another, one according to his ability. With hearts full of courage, the first two servants invest their talents and watch them multiply. With a heart gripped by fear, the third servant buries his talent in the ground, fearing to lose it. When the master returns, he praises the first two for their diligence and scolds the third for his inaction, taking away even the little he has and giving it to the one with the most.

Episode 04 The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Episode 04 The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Hello and welcome to 2 Minutes with the Lord, our podcast where we explore ancient parables and their relevance in our modern lives. I am your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and in today's episode, we will be discussing one of the shortest yet most profound parables, The Parable of the Mustard Seed. Despite its age, this story holds much significance for us even today. It speaks volumes about the potential and growth that can come from even the smallest of beginnings. So, let us delve deeper into how something as insignificant as a tiny mustard seed can teach us about the strength and impact of our actions. This parable can be found in the Gospel of Matthew 13:31-32. Jesus tells the story of a mustard seed, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so the birds come and perch in its branches." This metaphor for the Kingdom of Heaven beautifully illustrates how small beginnings can lead to expansive and impactful outcomes.
