Father Anthony encourages us to use the story of Noah’s ark as an example of how we all need an Ark, a place of refuge, for prayer and contemplation during tumultuous times.

Listen to Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, explain the important topic of Understanding Papal Authority: Its Nature and Scope.

Father Anthony reflects on the shock and promise of John 6:52–59, where Jesus’ words ignite dispute—“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”—because the Lord refuses to soften what He means: unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, we have no life in us. 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.
