The Broken Mug

The Broken Mug


“Welcome to Tiny Advent Parables with me Fr. Dominic —

where simple stories from daily life

reveal the deeper meaning of Advent

and help your heart prepare for Christmas.”

“Today’s parable begins with something ordinary…

a mug we think is ruined.”

“A woman dropped her favorite blue mug one morning.

It didn’t shatter —

but a long crack ran down its side.

She kept using it, but carefully…

worried it would break completely.

One day, a friend saw it and said,

‘Why not fix it with gold?

There’s a Japanese art called kintsugi —

it fills the cracks with gold

so the broken parts become the most beautiful.’

She looked at the mug again…

and for the first time,

the crack didn’t feel like damage.

It felt like a doorway to something new.”“We all have cracks —

wounds we carry quietly,

fears we don’t mention,

memories that still ache.

Like that woman,

we often move through life cautiously,

afraid the next hit will finally break us.

But Advent tells a different story.

God doesn’t discard the cracked.

He restores them.

He fills the fractures of our hearts

with His tender mercy,

His patience,

His healing grace.

Your broken places are not signs of failure —

they are invitations

for God’s beauty to shine through.

Sometimes the cracks become

the most sacred part of your story.”

“So today, take a moment and ask yourself:

‘Which crack in my life is God trying to fill with grace this Advent?’

Hold it gently.

Offer it honestly.

And whisper this prayer:

‘Lord, fill my broken places with Your light.’

This is Tiny Advent Parables with me Fr. Dominic.

Let God turn your cracks into beauty.”

Welcome to our podcast 2 Minutes with the Lord. I'm your host, Fr. Veigas Dominic SVD bringing you another inspiring journey through the teachings of the Bible.
