Good Tidings | EP 18 - The Spirit of Waiting | Fr Maina Waithaka

Fr. Maina Waithaka of St. Catherine Laboure Parish reflects on the message of Christmas through the story of Simeon, a devout man who waited patiently in the temple for the arrival of the Messiah. Simeon’s story is not just about anticipating a long-awaited promise, but also about the inner devotion and spirit that led him to recognize Christ when He arrived. Fr. Waithaka draws a powerful connection between the anticipation of Advent, the true essence of worship, and the deep significance of Christmas as the beginning of salvation. He encourages us to move beyond the distractions of holiday decor and outward appearances, reminding us that the heart prepared with faith and devotion is where Christ truly comes to dwell.
