Father Anthony uses the story of Passover in Exodus to demonstrate the ways that we can invoke the precious blood of Jesus for the protection of our home and families.

Father Anthony reflects on the startling tenderness of the Gospel in John 4, where Jesus waits at Jacob’s well and speaks to a Samaritan woman—crossing boundaries of history, prejudice, and shame with the simple request, “Give me a drink.” He explores how Christ does not approach her as a case to be judged, but as a soul to be known—thirst meeting Thirst, loneliness met by the steady gaze of mercy.

Father Anthony reflects on Zechariah’s canticle, the Benedictus to discover how God’s faithful mercy, revealed in the birth of John the Baptist, continues to bless us today—calling us to bless God in return.
