The Window and the Sunset

“Welcome again. We are in Day 6 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where ordinary moments help us prepare our hearts for Christmas.”


“Today’s story comes from a woman who loved to watch…
the evening sky.”



“Every evening, just before supper,
an elderly woman pulled her chair to the window
and watched the sunset.
Her family worried about her.
They thought she was lonely —
just passing time staring at the sky.
One day, her granddaughter asked,
‘Grandma, why do you watch the sunset every day?’
The old woman smiled gently and said,
‘Because it reminds me
that even the most beautiful things
must set…
so something new can rise.’
Her voice held no sadness —
only a tender kind of wisdom
that comes from years of watching God
bring light out of darkness.”


“There are sunsets in our lives too —
chapters that end,
relationships that shift,
roles that change,
dreams that fade.
Some endings we choose,
others break our hearts.
But Advent teaches us that every ending
prepares the sky for a new dawn.
A part of your life may be setting right now —
a season of waiting,
a chapter of struggle,
a hope that feels delayed.
But God never lets a sunset be the last word.
He uses it to soften the sky,
to calm your spirit,
to prepare the horizon
for something you cannot yet see.
Advent is the time
where the light is fading…
but the promise is rising.”



“So today, pause for a moment and ask yourself:
‘What is God gently closing in my life?
And what new dawn might He be preparing?’
Don’t fear the sunset.
Let God hold the ending.
Whisper this prayer:
‘Lord, bless my endings…
and prepare my heart for the dawn.’
This is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic.
May today’s light lead you gently into hope.”
