Father Anthony reflects on John 14:8–11 — “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” — Christ’s profound revelation to Philip that unveils His divine unity with the Father, drawing us into the mystery of who Jesus truly is and inviting us to deeper faith in the One who makes the invisible God known.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:1–5 — the haunting scene of Jesus scourged, crowned with thorns, and presented to the crowd with the words, “Behold the man,” revealing the depth of His humility and love as He silently bears humiliation and pain for our salvation, inviting us to gaze upon Him, recognize our own sin and suffering laid upon His shoulders, and respond not with indifference, but with repentance, gratitude, and trust in His mercy.

Father Anthony reflects on these passages from Matthew as our guide to not get caught up in the anxiety of day-to-day life, but to rely on the providence of God’s mercy.
