Father Anthony reminds us that when we are feeling impatient and on the verge of throwing in the towel, we need to trust in Jesus to lift us up.

Today's Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112625.cfm As we reach the final days of the liturgical year, the Church invites us to lift our eyes toward the ultimate realities: Christ’s return, the purification of the world, and God’s unshakeable plan for His people. Fr. Chris reminds us that the Scriptures, the Catechism, and the Church-approved Marian apparitions all speak with one voice: we are already living in the “last hour” (CCC 670), and yet God’s mercy remains our refuge and our hope.

Fr. Anthony Gramlich explores the healing of the paralyzed man in Mark 2, showing how the mercy of Jesus often reaches us through the love and faith of others. When we feel stuck or spiritually paralyzed, it’s okay to lean on our brothers and sisters in Christ—because sometimes, it takes a community to carry us to healing.
