At the beginning of the year, God met me in an unexpected way.
In my boss’s annual letter to our team, he shared the story of the three stonecutters. When asked what they were doing, the first said he was cutting stones. The second said he was building a wall. But the third smiled and said, “I am building a cathedral.”
Then, unexpectedly, he mentioned me and said that I was the third stonecutter. He spoke kindly about my work and thanked me publicly. When I read that, I was speechless. I didn’t feel proud. I felt seen.
Between work, ministry, and daily responsibilities, I had found myself tired. Serving, which once brought deep joy, had slowly begun to feel heavy. Without realizing it, I had started to measure my days by tasks completed rather than by love given.
In that moment, God reminded me that my efforts mattered.
It made me reflect on my ministry. Like many servants in the Church, I often focus on tasks. But Lent calls us back to purpose. Even our smallest acts, when offered to God, become part of something holy.
Scripture reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). When we place our work in His hands, He renews both its meaning and our hearts.
This Lent, may we rise from weariness with renewed faith and build God’s cathedral together for His glory.
