Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, showing how authentic humility draws God’s mercy like a magnet. He reveals how self-righteousness blinds the heart, while honest repentance opens it wide to grace. In this simple but piercing story, we learn that true discipleship begins not with boasting in our virtue, but with trusting in God’s compassion—where the lowly are lifted and sinners go home justified.

We often hear the biblical instruction, "Call no man your father,” and many wonder why priests are called fathers. But in the Bible, the concept of fatherhood is not just restricted to God and our earthly Fathers. It is also used as a sign of respect to those with whom we have a special relationship, such as spiritual fathers. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then learn about the beautiful, sacred work of the Frei family who for five generations have been making stained glass for places of Catholic worship.
