The Beauty of Waiting: God’s Plan Unfolds in Time

The Homily today emphasizes the importance of patience . . .

. . . in growing our faith and waiting on God’s timing rather than our own. Using the story of Noah from Genesis, it highlights how he waited patiently before leaving the ark. We’ll hear the significance and the lessons for us within the Homily.

Similarly, in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus heals a blind man in stages, symbolizing the gradual process of spiritual growth. Why did Jesus have to perform the healing inn two stages, when other miracles are performed with a simple command?

Faith Requires . . .

The Homily stresses that faith is a journey that requires trust in God’s timing. In a world that demands instant results, impatience can lead to discouragement and a loss of faith. However, the process of waiting is crucial as it prepares us for what God has in store. True faith requires patience, trust, and surrender to God’s will.
