The One Lost Glove

The One Lost Glove

“Peace be upon you. We are in Day 7 of Advent,
and welcome to Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where the small moments of daily life
help us prepare our hearts for Christmas.”


“Today’s story begins on a cold winter bench…
with a single forgotten glove.”


“It was a freezing December afternoon.
People rushed through the park,
heads down, collars up, hands buried in pockets.
On one bench lay a single wool glove —
soaked from the snow, muddy from footprints,
ignored by everyone passing by.
Most didn’t even look at it.
But one woman stopped.
Something about that lonely glove
made her pause.
She picked it up gently,
brushed off the snow,
and placed it on the back of the bench
where it could be easily seen.
An hour later,
an elderly man hurried toward the bench,
eyes scanning desperately.
When he saw the glove —
his glove —
he exhaled like someone finding
a small piece of himself again.
He slipped it onto his trembling hand
and whispered,
‘Thank God… someone cared enough to notice.’”


“Sometimes we feel like that lost glove —
dropped, forgotten, overlooked,
sitting in life’s cold places
hoping someone cares enough to notice.
There are days when we feel misplaced
in our families,
in our friendships,
even in our own hearts.
But Advent tells us this truth:
God always notices.
God always searches.
God always draws near
to the ones who feel left behind.
You are never the forgotten glove on the bench.
You are the one Christ comes looking for —
patiently, persistently, lovingly.
And He will place you back
where you belong,
warming your spirit
with His steady presence.”


“So today, take a moment and ask yourself:
‘Where do I feel lost or unseen?
And can I trust that God is searching for me there?’
Let Him find you.
Let Him lift you gently.
And whisper this Advent prayer:
‘Lord, thank You for noticing me when I feel forgotten.’
This is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic.
May you feel held, found, and warmed today.”
