God's little grain of sand

Today, a visit to the Father Solanus Casey center. This priest was amazing--utter simplicity. Two gems: "Man's greatness lies in being true to the present moment." In other words, no nostalgia, no longing for the vanished past, or, worse, the what-might-have-been present.

Second: "God loves tiny beginnings..."

Well, there's another thing that seems to be forgotten in modernity: the tiniest things. The seed, the embryo. Women are the ones who care for the little things--we protect them, or at least we should.

This work flies in the face of the constant push for bigger and better. Let's manufacture a little embryo and sacrifice it for the grown ups!

Therese of Lisieux always wanted to be the "the little grain of sand."
