Sacrifice for Our Sins
Sacrifice for Our Sins
Father Anthony reflects on Romans 5:6–11 — the staggering truth that Christ died for us “while we were still sinners,” revealing a love that does not wait for us to improve, earn, or deserve it, but rushes toward us in our weakness to reconcile us to the Father, inviting us to lay down shame and fear, trust in the mercy won by His Blood, and rejoice in the hope that we are no longer enemies, but beloved friends of God.

Father Anthony reflects on the urgency and tenderness of John 7:37–39, set on the final and greatest day of the feast, when Jesus suddenly cries out above the noise of ritual and crowds: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” It is a startling invitation—not to effort, observance, or mastery, but to thirst itself—as if longing were the doorway God has been waiting to open.
Father Anthony encourages us to use the story of Noah’s ark as an example of how we all need an Ark, a place of refuge, for prayer and contemplation during tumultuous times.
