The Bridge in the Fog

The Bridge in the Fog

DAY 18 —“The Bridge in the Fog”


“Welcome again. We are in Day 18 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where courage often appears in gentle forms.”


“Today’s story begins at a bridge…
covered in thick winter fog.”


“A man approached an old wooden bridge
stretching across a forest valley.
But the fog was so thick
he could not see the other side.
He hesitated.
Should he wait?
Turn back?
Or risk stepping into what he could not see?
An elderly shepherd walking behind him said,
‘Son, you don’t need to see the whole bridge…
just trust the plank beneath your foot.’
So the man stepped forward.
Slowly.
Carefully.
Courageously.
And halfway across,
the fog thinned —
revealing a beautiful valley
that had been hidden all along.”


“Courage is not the absence of fear —
it is choosing to move
even when clarity is missing.
God rarely shows the entire path.
He invites us
to take the next step
on the plank He strengthens beneath our feet.
Advent courage is quiet courage —
the bravery to believe
that God walks the bridge with you.”


“So today ask:
‘Where is God asking me to take one brave step?’
And whisper:
‘Lord, steady my foot…
and walk with me through the fog.’”
