God Came Down So We Could Be Raised Up

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfm The mystery of Christmas overturns every illusion of self-salvation. God does not wait for humanity to climb back to Him. He comes down. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, draws us into this central truth of the Incarnation: Fallen humanity cannot raise itself by its own efforts. Grace is not something we generate. Redemption begins with divine humility.

Rejoice in God’s Blessing

Father Anthony uses the story of Jonah’s jealousy to remind us to check our hearts and rejoice in God’s blessings for others.

The Love That Compelled Christ to Die

Fr. Anthony Gramlich reflects on one of the deepest mysteries of our faith: how the Passion of Jesus was both the worst and the greatest moment of His earthly life. From a human standpoint, it was agony, humiliation, and death. From a divine standpoint, it was perfect love poured out — the very reason He came into the world. As Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, Jesus is the only person ever born with the mission to die, and to die for us.
