Father Anthony reflects on 2 Corinthians 4:7–9 — St. Paul’s powerful reminder that although we are fragile like earthen vessels, we carry within us the extraordinary treasure of God’s grace, revealing that the strength sustaining us does not come from ourselves but from the Lord; even when we are afflicted, confused, persecuted, or knocked down by the trials of life, we are never abandoned or without hope, for Christ remains with us in our weakness, giving us the courage to rise again and teaching us that our struggles do not define us, but can become places where His power, faithfulness, and glory shine through us most clearly.
