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.

Romans 8:16-18

Father Anthony reflects on the mystery proclaimed at the opening of the Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word.” He explores how Christ is not only present at creation but is creation’s meaning—the eternal Word through whom all things were made, who enters the world not with force but with humility and love.
