Does your contribution to the world ever feel too small to matter? In today's **Word of Hope** for Tuesday, June 9th, Father Bob Keller shares a beautiful story about Sarah, a Eucharistic minister, to illustrate a powerful spiritual truth: in God's kingdom, "small" is more than enough.
Drawing from the Gospel teaching that we are the **Salt of the Earth** and the **Light of the World**, Father Bob explains the concept of "Divine Calculus"—where a single small act of faith or a moment of presence can have a monumental impact on another person's life. Whether you are a parent, a coach, a volunteer, or simply a friend, your "small" light is magnetic and glorifies God.
**In this reflection, you will hear about:**
✨ Sarah’s 5-year journey visiting shut-ins and being a "beacon" for others.
✨ Why a chef knows that even the smallest amount of salt changes everything.
✨ How our daily work—from coaching to cooking—glorifies our Heavenly Father.
✨ Embracing the "quality of heart" over the quantity of our deeds.
✨ Letting the Holy Spirit transform your small offerings into a major impact.
