Christ Lives in Me
Father Anthony reflects on Galatians 2:20 — St. Paul’s powerful declaration that through faith we are called to die to our old way of life so that Christ may truly live within us, inviting us to surrender our desires, fears, ambitions, and weaknesses to the Lord and allow His love to shape everything we think, say, and do; as we learn to live not for ourselves but by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us, Jesus transforms our hearts, teaching us that the Christian life is not simply about following Him from a distance, but allowing His presence to become the very center of who we are and letting His sacrificial love shine through every part of our lives.
