LITTLE GIRL HELPED BUILD CATHEDRAL
When the Milan Cathedral was finished, in the vast throes of people assembled to witness the dedication was a little girl who was heard to cry out in childish glee, as she pointed to the great building, “I helped to build that!”
“What?” exclaimed one of the guards who was standing in brilliant uniform. “Show me what you did.”
“I carried the dinner pail for my father while he worked up yonder,” she replied. Her part, though humble, helped to complete the plans of the architect.
In relating this story Bishop Leonard makes this comment: “Our part in life may seem small, but it should bulk large in our thought when we remember that it is helping to complete the plan of the Divine Architect.”
