All is Calm, All is Bright - Part 1: When Silence is Needed
Dec 15, 2024 • Fr Elijah Estafanous
In the first part of the Advent series All Is Calm, All Is Bright: When Silence Is Needed, Fr. Elijah from St. Mark DC challenges us to reflect on the spiritual busyness and routines that often overshadow true encounters with God. Drawing from the story of Zachariah in Luke 1, the message emphasizes the importance of silence and intentional devotion as we prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming.
Are we truly aware of God’s presence in our lives, or have we fallen into routine religiosity? This talk calls us to reclaim our inner altar, prioritize quiet moments of prayer, and deepen our personal relationship with God. Don’t let this Advent season pass by as “just another Christmas”—embrace stillness, reflect on God’s love, and make room for Him in your heart.
