Father Anthony encourages us to meditate on the passion of Christ and be healed of our own wounds through Jesus.

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. In this simple but piercing story, we learn that true discipleship begins not with boasting in our virtue, but with trusting in God’s compassion—where the lowly are lifted and sinners go home justified.

Father Anthony uses the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers to encourage us to ask Jesus to heal our wounds so that we may also forgive those who have sinned against us.
