24 December 2025 – Waiting for the Promise

On the final day of Advent, we pause at the edge of Christmas.

Today’s readings lead us through God’s faithful promise — from the covenant made with David to the joyful prophecy of Zechariah, who finally sees that God has kept His word. As the Church prepares for the birth of Christ, we reflect on the meaning of waiting, trust, and hope.

This short reflection includes a gentle story connected to the readings, simple explanations, and practical applications for daily life — suitable for both Catholics and those preparing to enter the Church.

Take a quiet moment. The promise is near. The light is about to dawn.
