Father Anthony reminds us that prayer is a dialogue between the soul and God. It’s important that we listen for God’s reply.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:33–34 — the soldier’s lance piercing the side of Christ, and the sudden flow of blood and water, revealing that even in death Jesus continues to pour Himself out for us, opening His Sacred Heart as the fountain of mercy and the source of the sacraments, inviting us to draw near with awe and confidence, and to let His love cleanse, heal, and renew our hearts.

Father Anthony reminds us that just as the word “psalm” means “song,” these verses are meant to lift our spirits and give us hope during dark times.
