Keeping Our Eyes on Jesus
Father Anthony reflects on this passage from Matthew and reminds us to trust in Christ, even in life’s storms, and to keep our focus on Him rather than our fears.

Are You Consuming Junk?Jesus said: Do not be absorbed in your misery — you are still too weak to speak of it — but, rather, gaze on My Heart filled with goodness, and be imbued with My sentiments. … when you feel your strength failing, if you come to the fountain of mercy to fortify your soul, you will not grow weary on your journey (Diary, 1486).
Father Anthony uses the lessons of Isaiah 6 to remind us to pray for the empowerment to speak God’s word.
Like Moses, Jesus ascended on a mountain to bring a rule for living to the people. He showed them how to find permanent bliss that nothing can take away: not sickness, not poverty, nor persecution. These are the Beatitudes, and Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains their meaning and application in our daily lives. Then pay a visit to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin, a special place where Mary appeared and the Beatitudes came alive.
