Father Anthony reflects on the risen Christ who meets weary travelers along the road after the Resurrection, drawing near when hope feels thin and understanding incomplete. He explores how Jesus is first recognized not by dramatic signs, but by presence—walking, listening, sharing the journey—until he sits with them, shows them His hands, and even eats fish, showing a love that is real, embodied, and near. What appears ordinary slowly becomes holy as their eyes are opened to the truth that the stranger is the Lord.

Father Anthony reflects on the powerful message in Matthew, where Jesus speaks about the Last Judgment and what will determine our eternal destiny, unpacking the deep connection between acts of love and our relationship with Christ.
