Father Anthony reflects on John 19:33–34 — the soldier’s lance piercing the side of Christ, and the sudden flow of blood and water, revealing that even in death Jesus continues to pour Himself out for us, opening His Sacred Heart as the fountain of mercy and the source of the sacraments, inviting us to draw near with awe and confidence, and to let His love cleanse, heal, and renew our hearts.

Father Anthony reflects on the story of the disciples on the road to Jerusalem, revealing how the risen Jesus often walks beside us unseen in our moments of confusion, doubt, and grief. He shows how Christ patiently listens, opens the Scriptures, and gently warms the heart before revealing himself—not through spectacle, but in the simple breaking of the bread. What seemed like a stranger becomes the Lord, and sorrow gives way to joy as their eyes are opened.
