Father Anthony uses the story of Esther to encourage us to show humility before God as we ask Him to hear our prayers.

Fr. Anthony reflects on Jesus’ cry from the Cross and what it means for us when we feel abandoned by God. Drawing from the Gospel of Mark, he shows how even in our darkest moments, we are invited to trust that resurrection and mercy await. Learn why 3 pm—the Hour of Mercy—is so powerful, and how Jesus’ suffering opens the door to grace for every soul.

Father Anthony uses this passage to discuss the importance of charity—both in giving and receiving—reminding us that Christ calls us to care for those in need while also humbly accepting help when we are in need ourselves.
