23 December 2025 Theme: “God Still Speaks… Even When We’re Silent”

23 December 2025God Still Speaks… Even When We’re SilentAs Christmas draws near, today’s readings remind us that God prepares hearts in unexpected ways — sometimes through silence, sometimes through obedience, and sometimes through uncomfortable waiting.In this short Advent reflection, we journey with Zechariah, a priest who temporarily loses his voice, and John the Baptist, the child born to prepare the way of the Lord. With gentle dark humor and practical insight, this episode explores how God refines us, why listening matters more than speaking, and how obedience opens the door for grace.A reflection for Catholics and catechumens, especially for anyone feeling spiritually “muted” as Christmas approaches.📖 Readings: • Malachi 3:1–4, 23–24 • Psalm 25 • Luke 1:57–66🕯️ Theme: Preparing the way of the Lord — through silence, trust, and surrender.
