Have you ever wondered why Catholic priests bless throats on Feb. 3, the Feast of St. Blaise? Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC explains the history of this famous tradition and blessing. Saint Blaise, pray for us!

Father Anthony reflects on the scripture passage where Jesus raises the widow’s only son, revealing Christ’s deep compassion for human suffering. Fr. Anthony invites us to see how Jesus can also revive our own hearts when we feel weighed down, weary, or spiritually lifeless. Discover how to call on the Lord to “touch your spirit” and bring you new life.

Father Anthony uses the miracle of Moses parting the Red Sea as a call for us to continually recognize the gifts in our lives and thank God daily for His blessings.
