His Grace is Sufficient
His Grace is Sufficient
Father Anthony reflects on 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 — St. Paul’s powerful reminder that God’s grace is sufficient for us and that His power is made perfect in our weakness, inviting us to stop seeing our limitations, struggles, and sufferings as obstacles that prevent God from working through us, but instead as places where we can surrender more completely to His strength; even when we feel inadequate, exhausted, rejected, or unable to carry the burdens before us, Christ remains with us, teaching us to rely less on our own abilities and more on His grace, so that in our weakness His power may rest upon us and our lives may become a witness to the strength that comes from Him alone.
