Revealed Through Fire
Father Anthony reflects on 1 Corinthians 3:11–15 — St. Paul’s powerful reminder that Jesus Christ alone is the true foundation upon which every Christian life must be built, inviting us to examine whether our words, choices, sacrifices, and daily actions are rooted in faith, hope, and love, or in things that will ultimately pass away; even though our works will one day be tested by the fire of God’s truth, the Lord desires not to condemn us, but to purify our hearts, strengthen what is lasting, and teach us to build our lives with the enduring treasures of holiness, trusting that everything done for Christ will bear fruit for eternity.
