Homilies about silence

When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayers (And What He Offers Instead)

The homily reflects on the first reading from 1 Kings about Elijah and the prophets of Baal, highlighting the contrast between a God who listens and responds, and false gods who do not. It then connects this to our own prayer lives, suggesting that sometimes we don't speak to God, don't listen to Him, or expect Him to respond in a way that isn't best for us. The core message is that God often answers in silence, offering His very self as the solution to our problems.
