Some of us may think that losing something which seems small or insignificant may not be a big
thing, especially when we have plenty to spare and we find that
it is not worth worrying or fretting about such a lost. However,
sometimes what seems small and insignificant could be just as important or serious. For instance, a small lump may
seem insignificant, but if we are not careful and see a doctor for
diagnosis and quick treatment if necessary, we may be in big trouble as
that small lump may turn out to be malignant.
Today's Gospel shows us that, when it comes to saving
us, God takes everything seriously, even what seems small and insignificant. He wants each and every one of us to
be with Him, even if it is one sheep, or one drachma, or one
whatever. Each and every one
of us is important to God, and when we confess our sins and make more effort to return to His ways, "there is rejoicing among the angels of God over one repentant
sinner." May we follow God's example and treat all things, big and small, with love and care, so that none would be lost.
