Are you afraid of tomorrow? Are you confused about your future or weighed down by anxiety?

​The Church invites us today to reflect on one powerful name: EMMANUEL, which means "God is with us." Not "God was with us," and not "God will be with us," but God IS with us right now.

​If God is truly with you, why do you feel so alone?

​In this homily for the 4th Sunday of Advent, Fr. Benjamin Okala, C.S.Sp. identifies the root cause of your spiritual dryness: OVERFAMILIARITY. When we become too familiar with God in theory, we lose sight of His power in reality.

​🛑 "My friend, wake up! Before you were born, God had already planned everything."

​Fr. Ben explains that God is the Master Planner (Jeremiah 29:11). Just as He prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph to cooperate with His divine plan, He has a specific plan for your destiny. But you cannot know the plan if you don't know the Planner!

​In this video, you will discover:

● ​The Danger of Familiarity: Why you might be taking God's presence for granted.
● ​The Prophetic Promise: Why God cannot execute a plan without revealing it to you (Amos 3:7).
● The Joseph Strategy: How to create an "enabling environment" of solitude to hear God's voice.
● ​4 Practical Steps: How to build a "Personal Altar" and develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

​🙏 "Lord, I know you are Emmanuel. You are with me. Reveal your plan for this current situation."
