Father Anthony reflects on the risen Christ who meets weary travelers along the road after the Resurrection, drawing near when hope feels thin and understanding incomplete. He explores how Jesus is first recognized not by dramatic signs, but by presence—walking, listening, sharing the journey—until he sits with them, shows them His hands, and even eats fish, showing a love that is real, embodied, and near. What appears ordinary slowly becomes holy as their eyes are opened to the truth that the stranger is the Lord. In these moments, Father Anthony invites us to see how Jesus still comes to us in many forms: in shared meals, honest conversations, unexpected companions, and quiet acts of care. When we make room for him at our table and on our road, confusion gives way to clarity, hearts awaken, and faith is renewed in the midst of everyday life.
This week, Fr. Anthony encourages us to develop a habit of prayer this Lent, as prayer is the oxygen for the soul.
