Father Anthony reflects on the importance of staying humble, giving all praise to God, for our good works in the world.

Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, gives us insight as to why Catholic priests wear rose-colored vestments on the Third Sunday of Advent, also known as Gaudete Sunday.

Father Anthony reflects on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the depth of God’s love shown not only in miracles and triumphs, but also in trembling and tears. He shows how the Savior who healed the sick and walked on water now falls to His knees beneath the weight of our sin—choosing obedience over escape and love over fear. As Jesus prays “not my will but Yours be done,” we witness a battle no army could fight and no disciple could see: the victory of surrender.
