Father Anthony acknowledges the importance of repentance and taking responsibility for our sins so that we can live in accordance with His will.

Father Anthony reflects on the urgency and tenderness of John 7:37–39, set on the final and greatest day of the feast, when Jesus suddenly cries out above the noise of ritual and crowds: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” It is a startling invitation—not to effort, observance, or mastery, but to thirst itself—as if longing were the doorway God has been waiting to open.

Father Anthony unpacks the Parable of the Prodigal Son, showing how Divine Mercy transforms half-hearted repentance into true conversion, and how God’s joy over our return reveals the very heart of the Gospel.
