Father Anthony reflects on this Beatitude in Matthew as a call for us to look for ways to show mercy to others each day.

Fr. Anthony unpacks the story of the rich young man from Mark 10, reflecting on how Jesus lovingly calls each of us to deeper detachment and trust. What are you holding onto that might keep you from fully following Christ?

Father Anthony reflects on the shock and promise of John 6:52–59, where Jesus’ words ignite dispute—“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”—because the Lord refuses to soften what He means: unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, we have no life in us. He speaks with a holy insistence that feels almost too close, too concrete, as if salvation were not merely an idea to admire but a life to receive—His life, given to be shared.
