A shared story and reflection by Sr. Mary Lynn while having a conversation with the 'lil one...
Boy: (holding the crucifix) what is this?
Me: It's Jesus.
Boy: Why is he so tiny?
Me: Because if it is big, I can't carry Him.
Boy:I want him big.
Then the teacher in...
Teacher: Because if it is big Sister can't carry it that's why it is small.
Boy: okayπ
At ito ang napagnilayan ko...
Why is He so tiny? I want Him big.
βWhy is He so tiny?β the little boy asked,
βI want Him big,β with a heart so vast.
I smiled and said, βI canβt carry Him if Heβs big,β
Not knowing his words would make my heart think.
Perhaps Jesus is small upon my chest,
But in my heart, may He grow without end;
For I need not carry Him by my own might...
Let Him be big, and let Him carry me through life.
