Father Anthony reflects on the powerful message in Matthew, where Jesus speaks about the Last Judgment and what will determine our eternal destiny, unpacking the deep connection between acts of love and our relationship with Christ.

Father Anthony reflects on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the depth of God’s love shown not only in miracles and triumphs, but also in trembling and tears. He shows how the Savior who healed the sick and walked on water now falls to His knees beneath the weight of our sin—choosing obedience over escape and love over fear. As Jesus prays “not my will but Yours be done,” we witness a battle no army could fight and no disciple could see: the victory of surrender.
