The Lantern on the Hill

The Lantern on the Hill




“Welcome to you. We are in Day 19 of Advent,
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where light finds us even in the quietest darkness.”


“Today’s story begins on a cold winter night…
with a lantern glowing alone on a hill.”


“A small town lost electricity one winter evening.
Houses stood in darkness,
streets silent,
windows empty.
A teenager walking home noticed a faint glow
from the top of a nearby hill.
Curious, he climbed up
and discovered a single lantern
placed on a wooden post—
lit by an old farmer
so travelers wouldn’t lose their way.
The boy said,
‘But it’s just one lantern…
it can’t light the whole town.’
The farmer smiled,
‘It doesn’t have to.
It just needs to light enough
so someone knows where they’re going.’
And on that night,
people found their way home
because one man refused to let darkness win.”


“Advent reminds us
that even the smallest light
is stronger than the deepest night.
You may feel like your hope is small,
your faith dim,
your strength barely flickering —
but in God’s hands,
even a single lantern
can guide many.
Christ comes as Light
not to remove all darkness at once,
but to give you enough light
for the next step,
the next choice,
the next prayer.
Darkness is real.
But Light has already come.
And Light always wins.”


“So today ask:
‘Where is God asking me to be a small light?’
Let your heart shine — even faintly.
Whisper:
‘Lord, be my light…
and make me light for others.’”

Here, we witness Jesus' deep empathy and concern for those in need. His compassion was not limited by social status or circumstance; it embraced all.

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-enriching episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a transformative journey to explore a practical way of Christian living - "Becoming Prayer.” Let us begin by contemplating the profound impact of prayer in our lives. In St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:6-7, we find these words of wisdom: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." These verses remind us that prayer is a conduit to God's peace, a transformative force that can calm our anxieties and bring us closer to Him. How can we transform our lives into a continuous prayer, an offering to the Divine?

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-nourishing episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a journey to explore a topic that is both comforting and transformative - "Anchored in Hope." The Essence of Hope Let's begin by unraveling the essence of hope and how it is deeply intertwined with our faith. In the book of Romans, the verse 15:13 reminds us: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." These words beautifully encapsulate the idea that hope is not just a human sentiment but a divine gift, a source of joy and peace that flows from our trust in God. To truly grasp the depth of hope, let's envision a ship anchored in a safe harbor during a storm. The anchor keeps the ship steady amidst the raging waves, providing security and preventing it from being carried away by the tempest. Similarly, hope serves as our spiritual anchor, keeping us steadfast in the face of life's storms.
