O Adonai: The King We Are Waiting For - Homily 18th December 2025
Description
As we pray O Adonai, we remember that the world longs for a true King. Human leadership often fails, but Jesus comes as a different kind of ruler — one who leads with wisdom, integrity, and compassion. His authority flows from his relationship with the Father, and his leadership unites rather than divides.
The Gospel shows us St Joseph as a model of quiet leadership: faithful, humble, and obedient to God’s will. Jesus grew up witnessing Joseph’s integrity and learned that true leadership is lived, not claimed.
This Advent, Christ invites us to lead not by power, but by service — with humility, faithfulness, and trust in God.
Reflection Question: How is Christ calling me to grow in wisdom, integrity, and compassion so that my leadership reflects His kingship?
