The Busy Street Crossing

The Busy Street Crossing

Welcome once more. We are in Day 16 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where everyday moments invite us
to slow down and make room for Christ.”



“Today’s parable unfolds at a crowded street crossing…
where everyone seemed to be in a race.”


“It was lunch hour in a bustling city.
The pedestrian light turned green
and people surged forward —
heads low, feet fast, hearts elsewhere.
Everyone was rushing:
to errands, to meetings, to responsibilities.
In the middle of the crowd,
an elderly woman paused right at the edge of the road.
Instead of stepping forward,
she tilted her face upward
and looked at the sky.
A single patch of blue
peeked through the moving clouds.
She smiled to herself —
a slow, peaceful smile
that didn’t match the pace of the world around her.
A young woman beside her asked,
‘Ma’am, aren’t you crossing?’
The old woman chuckled softly and said,
‘Child, the road isn’t going anywhere.
But these quiet moments with God…
they pass quickly if you don’t stop to see them.’
Then, gently and without hurry,
she began to cross.”


“We spend much of life rushing —
rushing to solve problems,
rushing through conversations,
rushing through prayers,
rushing through our own emotions
because slowing down feels uncomfortable.
But Advent invites us into a different pace.
Jesus comes quietly,
slowly,
softly —
not with noise,
but with a whisper.
If our lives are moving too fast,
we might miss Him.
The elderly woman teaches us something holy:
the world will always demand speed,
but God asks for stillness.
Peace does not grow in busy hearts.
Hope does not bloom in hurried souls.
Advent is your invitation
to look up from the race
and notice the God
who is already beside you.”


“So today, pause and ask yourself:
‘Where am I rushing past God?
And where is He asking me to slow down,
even just for a moment?’
Let your heart breathe.
Let stillness find you.
And whisper this Advent prayer:
‘Lord, slow my spirit
so I don’t miss Your presence today.’
This is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic.
May holy stillness fill your heart.”

Sometimes you may have taken a step with kindness and compassion, like a beacon. You might have shown that simple acts of love, like helping a neighbor in need, not only brighten someone's day but also glorify God through our actions. How can you share our light with others?
