Father Anthony reminds us that when we are feeling impatient and on the verge of throwing in the towel, we need to trust in Jesus to lift us up.

Father Anthony uses the disobedience of Adam and Eve to demonstrate God’s prophecy of hope despite our sins.

Father Anthony reflects on the startling tenderness of the Gospel in John 4, where Jesus waits at Jacob’s well and speaks to a Samaritan woman—crossing boundaries of history, prejudice, and shame with the simple request, “Give me a drink.” He explores how Christ does not approach her as a case to be judged, but as a soul to be known—thirst meeting Thirst, loneliness met by the steady gaze of mercy.
