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 explains that our homeland is heaven and we should be reassured by our faith that we will be reunited with God in due time.

Father Anthony reminds us that the Lord is always present in our lives and encourages us to pray Psalm 139 when feeling down or depressed.
