The Quiet Lake

The Quiet Lake

Day 20- “


“Welcome. We are in Day 20 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where God’s peace finds us even when life feels restless.”


“Today’s story comes from a lakeside morning…
where stillness taught a lesson.”


“A young woman struggling with anxiety
went for an early walk by a lake.
The wind was strong,
and the water was choppy —
waves splashing against the shore.
She whispered,
‘Lord, why is my heart like this water?’
An elderly fisherman nearby overheard
and said quietly,
‘Look at the middle of the lake.’
She squinted —
and to her surprise,
the center was perfectly still.
‘Storms can touch the surface,’ he said,
‘but deep waters stay calm.’
Her heart softened —
peace was not the absence of waves,
but the stillness God creates beneath them.”


“Advent peace is not perfect circumstances.
It is Christ resting at the center of your soul
even when life feels unsettled.
Let God calm your depths.
Let Him whisper stillness
below your worries.
True peace comes not from control,
but from surrendering the storm to Him.”


“So today ask:
‘Where do I need God’s deep peace?’
Whisper:
‘Lord, calm the waters within me.’”
