Father Anthony reflects on the story of Martha and Mary, encouraging us to balance action with contemplation in our own lives. Are we serving God out of our own strength, or allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us through prayer?

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:26–27 — Jesus, from the Cross, entrusting His Mother to the beloved disciple and the disciple to His Mother, revealing that even in His darkest hour He is creating a new family of faith, giving us Mary as a spiritual Mother who draws us close to her Son, teaches us to stand with love at the foot of the Cross, and reminds us that we are never abandoned in suffering, but received into the heart of Christ.
