A Word of Hope

18 January • Do You Feel Too Small? | God’s Big Vision & The Mosquito Proverb

Remote video URL

Do you ever feel like your life is too small or insignificant to make a real difference? It is easy to get trapped in a narrow vision of our future, but God has much bigger plans for you.

In this episode of A Word of Hope for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Brendan Curran, OP (Promoter for Justice and Peace), reflects on the Prophet Isaiah. God reminds the people of Israel—and us—that it is "too little" to simply be a servant. Instead, we are called to be a "light to the nations."

Fr. Brendan shares a humorous and powerful African proverb to remind us that size doesn't determine impact: "If you think you are too little to make a difference, try sleeping during the night with a mosquito in your room."

Stop limiting your potential. Watch this reflection to understand God's aspirations for your life.
