Father Anthony reflects on John 19:28–30 — Jesus, knowing His hour has come, speaks the simple words “I thirst,” revealing both the real suffering of His humanity and the deeper longing of His heart for souls, and as He declares “It is finished” and bows His head, we behold the love that holds nothing back, completing our redemption and inviting us to receive His mercy with gratitude, surrender, and trust.
Father Anthony encourages us to cry out to God and let out our tears in prayer, always keeping our eyes on the Lord.
