Kevin from Ohiol sends along two photos that brought the importance of small moments to mind:

In the amber gloom of an almost-empty St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church in Cleveland’s Slavic Village, the slightest noise reverberates up into the shadowy heights of the tall Gothic ceiling.

Carol Oden’s face lights up as Bishop Roger Gries of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland reaches over to accept her gift at the annual "Journey to Bethlehem" Christmas Mass on Saturday at OLA/St. Joseph Center in Tremont. Developmentally disabled adults and children formed a procession to bring gifts to the altar during the offertory portion of the Mass. Carol’s sister, Joan Kosiewicz, is pushing her wheelchair. The sisters live in Seven Hills.
