We need a bigger story

People need a big story to live within.   

Our lives our so jumbled and often disconnected that we need a bigger narrative in which all the assorted puzzle pieces of our lives make sense.   We long for transcendence, purpose and meaning; and this is the message the Church has to offer the world: that God, through Christ, is redeeming our stories and is giving meaning to our lives within His story.  

So here's my question: what are the places and times that you experience this kind of connection with a "bigger story" than the subplot you're living?
