Father Anthony reflects on the risen Christ who meets weary travelers along the road after the Resurrection, drawing near when hope feels thin and understanding incomplete. He explores how Jesus is first recognized not by dramatic signs, but by presence—walking, listening, sharing the journey—until he sits with them, shows them His hands, and even eats fish, showing a love that is real, embodied, and near. What appears ordinary slowly becomes holy as their eyes are opened to the truth that the stranger is the Lord.

Father Anthony reflects on the parable of the lost sheep to explore the extravagant mercy of Christ—the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to seek out the one who has strayed.
