Father Anthony explains that our homeland is heaven and we should be reassured by our faith that we will be reunited with God in due time.

Father Anthony reflects on John 19:26–27 — Jesus, from the Cross, entrusting His Mother to the beloved disciple and the disciple to His Mother, revealing that even in His darkest hour He is creating a new family of faith, giving us Mary as a spiritual Mother who draws us close to her Son, teaches us to stand with love at the foot of the Cross, and reminds us that we are never abandoned in suffering, but received into the heart of Christ.

Father Anthony encourages us to use this prayer as a show of gratitude when experiencing God’s abundant blessings in life.
