“God is moved not only by the overall tenor of our lives, but by every single movement of our heart. Our smallest return of His love has more impact and importance with God than we will ever know.” (Fr. Joseph Langford)

Witnesses to Hope 
Those few words are such an incredible message of hope!
The New Evangiisation is all the talk at the moment and the one thing that comes up regularly is that some feel that they are not able to evangilize…the above quote refutes this completely. What a beautiful quote. God can use anything for the greater good, even the smallest action of love.
One of the most helpful bits of advice about evangelizing that I’ve ever heard came from Fr. Francis Martin. He said that you never know what step you are in the process of someone’s conversion. You may be step #54 in a process that takes 145 steps. So just be content to do your small part–maybe just being kind to someone in the grocery store–and also don’t be afraid to do your small part and think that it means nothing. Good advice.
This is a profound stance. Very helpful. Thank you.
Praying and offering it up can be a struggle sometimes. Its consoling to know that God appreciates even the smallest of our efforts. 🙂
