Children of God
Father Anthony reflects on Romans 8:16–18 — St. Paul’s consoling reminder that the Holy Spirit bears witness within us that we are truly children of God, heirs with Christ, and called to share in His glory, even when suffering weighs heavily upon us, inviting us to see our trials not as signs of abandonment, but as a path of union with Jesus, trusting that the glory God has prepared for us far outweighs every sorrow we endure in this present life.

He speaks with a holy insistence that feels almost too close, too concrete, as if salvation were not merely an idea to admire but a life to receive—His life, given to be shared.
