Let’s be clear this December 24, that as Advent ends and we celebrate Christmas tomorrow — Advent never really ends, for God is always coming toward a waiting and weary world. May the drama of the birthing of Jesus be for all of us an experience of God’s willingness to risk with us God’s very life! May the days we have journeyed together this Advent prepare us better meet the fragilities, the wrinkles, the groanings, and the vulnerabilities of our lives with just a bit more hopefulness. May we know in the depths of our spirits that we are being carried in the womb of God — awaiting a new birth!

While we coo with awe in the face of infants, remember that this God-child, whose birth we witness and testify to this Christmas, eventually grows into the man who will call us to follow paths we fear to tread upon, yet will accompany us every step of the way; the one who will tell us that “unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and die, it will remain just a grain of wheat.”

In this deeply honest and moving beachside homily, Father Ben Parenti gives voice to one of humanity’s oldest prayers: How long, O Lord? Drawing from the prophet Habakkuk, the Gospel of Luke, and personal moments of grief, anger, and witness to profound human suffering, he reframes faith not as something we accumulate, but as a way of seeing and living in the world. Jesus’ response is both surprising and hopeful—not more faith, but faith ignited. This episode invites listeners to stop measuring their faith and instead stir into flame the Spirit already dwelling within them, trusting that even mustard-seed faith can set a life—and a world—on fire with hope.
