Father Anthony uses the story of David and Goliath to remind us that just as David had the five stones to prevail over Goliath, we can invoke the five wounds of Jesus Christ to achieve victory over those who would harm us.

Sometimes the mystery of love can be best expressed in poetry as is evidenced by this mystical book, the Song of Solomon, from the Old Testament encouraging us to express our searching and longing for God.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:28–30 — Jesus, knowing His hour has come, speaks the simple words “I thirst,” revealing both the real suffering of His humanity and the deeper longing of His heart for souls, and as He declares “It is finished” and bows His head, we behold the love that holds nothing back, completing our redemption and inviting us to receive His mercy with gratitude, surrender, and trust.
