“A warm welcome to you. We are in Day 5 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where simple daily stories awaken the meaning of the season.”
“Today’s parable begins outside a bakery…
with a man who couldn’t afford the bread.”
“Every morning, a man walked past a bakery on his way to work.
He never bought anything — he couldn't afford to.
But he always paused, breathing in the warm, sweet smell
that made him feel human for a moment.
One cold morning, the baker noticed him.
The next day, a little bag sat outside the door
with a handwritten note:
‘Warmth is meant to be shared.’
Inside was fresh bread —
soft, warm, unexpected grace.”
“Sometimes God's generosity arrives
in the simplest, most surprising ways.
A kindness you didn’t expect.
A moment of warmth when life feels cold.
A reminder that you are seen.
Advent reveals a God
who places gifts at our door
not because we earn them
but because He loves to give.”
“What unexpected gift has God placed at your door?
Pray:
‘Lord, open my eyes to Your generosity today.’”
