Father Anthony reflects on the story of the disciples on the road to Jerusalem, revealing how the risen Jesus often walks beside us unseen in our moments of confusion, doubt, and grief. He shows how Christ patiently listens, opens the Scriptures, and gently warms the heart before revealing himself—not through spectacle, but in the simple breaking of the bread. What seemed like a stranger becomes the Lord, and sorrow gives way to joy as their eyes are opened.

Listen to Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, explain the issues, concerns and hardships of praying while suffering with a chronic illness.

Father Anthony reflects on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the depth of God’s love shown not only in miracles and triumphs, but also in trembling and tears. He shows how the Savior who healed the sick and walked on water now falls to His knees beneath the weight of our sin—choosing obedience over escape and love over fear. As Jesus prays “not my will but Yours be done,” we witness a battle no army could fight and no disciple could see: the victory of surrender.
