Father Anthony reflects on John 19:33–34 — the soldier’s lance piercing the side of Christ, and the sudden flow of blood and water, revealing that even in death Jesus continues to pour Himself out for us, opening His Sacred Heart as the fountain of mercy and the source of the sacraments, inviting us to draw near with awe and confidence, and to let His love cleanse, heal, and renew our hearts.

This week, Fr. Anthony explains how we can more clearly hear God speak to us in our hearts, but perhaps not in the way you think! By practicing being silent and still and flushing out everyday secular cares, we may be able to hear what God wants from us, rather than what the world wants from us.
