“As
a hospital chaplain, I have been asked to pray for the sick and
those on the verge of death, but I have never witnessed a miracle
like the ones recounted in the Gospel of Mark. But I have seen how
the ripples of the small acts that we do with great love are
miraculously multiplied by God’s Spirit and ripple outward from us
in ever-expanding circles, spreading the inexhaustible light of
God’s love to our neighbors both far and wide. The Dutch priest
Henri Nouwen, a spiritual thinker and writer who wrote endlessly
about the life of Jesus and the love of God observed that “the
world likes things to be large, big, impressive, and elaborate.
[But] God chooses the small things which are overlooked in the big
world.”
