Friday of the First Week of Advent reminds us that Jesus reveals Himself on His own terms. 
 
Today, Deacon Evan Hebert preached at Saint Edward Catholic Church, reflecting on the “messianic secret” and why Jesus often tells people not to spread news of His miracles. The Cross and Resurrection are the only true lens for understanding who Christ really is. 
 
In Advent, we join the two blind men in waiting, holding the tension of “not yet” while we prepare for His coming. May this season teach us how to offer ourselves to the Lord with deeper honesty and quieter trust. 
 
Recorded at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA.
