This one really spoke to me. Especially in a connected digital world where everyone feels they need to leave a grand legacy for all to see. I've always tried my best to focus on the small things, smiles to random strangers, random acts of kindness as much as possible. It's the more doable, "Little" big way.
Also good reminder that not all saints were "saints." That was mind-blowing when I first realized it. It keeps the pressure off of a desire to be perfect and pious every waking second. I've had to learn how to give myself permission to be human.
Thanks for sharing, Angel. People are always surprised to discover that most saints weren't actually "saints"---rather they were models of wholeness over so-called holiness. And two thumbs up to the Little Way!

Thank you Greg! Reading these amazing stories and meditating on the lives of the saints is the highlight of Advent these last few years.
I love hearing that! I'm really hoping the friendship theme resonates with folks this year.
