Father Anthony reflects on this Beatitude in Matthew as a call for us to look for ways to show mercy to others each day.

Fr. Anthony reflects on the Annunciation and how Mary’s humble and courageous “yes” opened the way for God’s plan of salvation. He explains how we can imitate her trust when God calls us, even in our fears and weaknesses.

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.
