Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the theme of submitting to the will of God through the lens of the Feast of the Annunciation. He reflects on St. Mary’s acceptance of God’s plan, emphasizing her faith and obedience despite the hardships she endured. Fr. Matthias highlights biblical examples of submission from Abraham, Moses, Caleb, David, and the disciples, illustrating how surrendering personal plans leads to spiritual fulfillment and participation in God’s greater purpose.
The sermon addresses the challenges of trusting God's direction over our own desires and underscores that faith, not knowledge, defines true servanthood. Fr. Matthias encourages believers to embrace obedience without full understanding, trusting that God’s plan is ultimately for their good. This message invites viewers to reflect on how they respond to God’s calling in their own lives, promoting a deeper commitment to faith and trust.
