Father Anthony reflects on Romans 7:4–25 — St. Paul’s honest confession of the battle within the human heart, where the desire to do good is real, yet the weakness of sin still pulls us away from God, revealing that we cannot save ourselves by willpower alone, but must surrender to the grace of Jesus Christ, who frees us from the slavery of sin, strengthens us in our struggle, and leads us from frustration and self-reliance into the mercy, victory, and new life of the Spirit.

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.
