Father Anthony advises us to call upon the Angels for protection and invoke them to help us in this life.

Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, showing how authentic humility draws God’s mercy like a magnet. He reveals how self-righteousness blinds the heart, while honest repentance opens it wide to grace.
