Father Anthony delves into the powerful parable of the unforgiving servant from Matthew 18 and discovers how Jesus challenges us to forgive others just as God has forgiven us.

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.

Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, showing how authentic humility draws God’s mercy like a magnet. He reveals how self-righteousness blinds the heart, while honest repentance opens it wide to grace. In this simple but piercing story, we learn that true discipleship begins not with boasting in our virtue, but with trusting in God’s compassion—where the lowly are lifted and sinners go home justified.
