Father Anthony uses the story of Jacob wrestling with the Angel to demonstrate that when we surrender our will and trust God, we are then blessed by Him.

Father Anthony reflects on the shock and promise of John 6:52–59, where Jesus’ words ignite dispute—“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”—because the Lord refuses to soften what He means: unless we eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, we have no life in us. He speaks with a holy insistence that feels almost too close, too concrete, as if salvation were not merely an idea to admire but a life to receive—His life, given to be shared.

Fr. Anthony reflects on Mark 1:40-42, where Jesus heals a leper with a simple yet powerful response: "I do choose. Be made clean." No matter how broken or burdened by sin we may feel, Christ is always ready to heal us. Learn how to approach Him with trust and receive the cleansing mercy He longs to give.
