Between the Old and New Testaments stretched four hundred years of silence, no prophets, no new Scripture, no visible miracles. But that silence wasn’t empty; it was full of divine preparation. In this Advent reflection, we’re invited to see our own seasons of waiting through the same lens, to trust that even when God seems quiet, He’s still moving. The soil of silence is where trust and hope grow, and the God who once broke heaven’s silence with the cry of a newborn will one day speak again with the voice of a returning King.
