Human suffering is a mystery. But in the light of Christ's redemptive suffering, it is not without meaning. Father Chris explains.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:33–34 — the soldier’s lance piercing the side of Christ, and the sudden flow of blood and water, revealing that even in death Jesus continues to pour Himself out for us, opening His Sacred Heart as the fountain of mercy and the source of the sacraments, inviting us to draw near with awe and confidence, and to let His love cleanse, heal, and renew our hearts.

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.
