Welcome to Day 3 of the Small Steps Blog Tour! Our theme today is Sacrifice.

SmallSteps(300x300)

You'll find today's "small steps" over at Small Things. We invite you to join us throughout the day in offering a rosary reflecting on the Luminous Mysteries. It might seem counter-intuitive to reflect on sacrifice while praying the Luminous Mysteries, but sacrifice is such a part of life, isn't it? With each gain, a loss. Or, as the old saw goes, when a window closes, a door opens. And I can't help but ask, "Were y'all raised in a barn?"

The Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary:

  • The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan
  • The Wedding at Cana
  • The Proclamation of the Kingdom
  • The Transfiguration
  • The Institution of the Eucharist

Don't forget to enter the "Five Minutes Alone" contest that's going on as part of our blog tour!
