Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the theme of God breaking His silence after long periods of waiting, focusing on the Annunciation of the birth of St. John the Baptist. He discusses biblical examples such as Abraham and Sarah waiting on God’s promise, the Israelites’ prolonged suffering in Egypt before their deliverance, and Hannah’s persistent prayers for a child. Fr. Matthias examines the purpose behind these silent periods, emphasizing that God’s timing encourages growth in faith, resilience, and hope. He highlights that unanswered prayers may lead to contentment and trust in God’s greater plan. Using the story of the moving mountain, Fr. Matthias invites viewers to expand their faith and ask God for the impossible, trusting in His power to answer beyond human imagination. This sermon encourages perseverance in prayer and confidence in God’s work during times of waiting.
