Day 33 The Spilled Salt
from 2 Minutes with the Lord Hosted by Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD
DAY 33 — THE SPILLED SALT A little boy helped his grandmother cook dinner. While scooping salt, his hand slipped and he spilled the entire tin across the counter. Embarrassed, he froze. “I ruined everything,” he cried. But the grandmother smiled, swept the salt into a bowl, and said, “No, my dear. We’ll use this to scrub the pan later. A mistake can become useful when you stop hiding it.” The boy wiped his tears and kept cooking. Many of us hide our mistakes— afraid of judgment, afraid of shame, afraid of admitting imperfection. But God is not a critic. He is a redeemer. He takes your spilled salt— your errors, missteps, failures— and uses them as ingredients for transformation. Lent is not about pretending perfection. It is about letting God repurpose what you think ruined everything. Nothing is wasted in the hands of mercy.
