Revealed Through Fire
Father Anthony reflects on 1 Corinthians 3:11–15 — St. Paul’s powerful reminder that Jesus Christ alone is the true foundation upon which every Christian life must be built, inviting us to examine whether our words, choices, sacrifices, and daily actions are rooted in faith, hope, and love, or in things that will ultimately pass away; even though our works will one day be tested by the fire of God’s truth, the Lord desires not to condemn us, but to purify our hearts, strengthen what is lasting, and teach us to build our lives with the enduring treasures of holiness, trusting that everything done for Christ will bear fruit for eternity.

Father Anthony reflects on the risen Christ who meets weary travelers along the road after the Resurrection, drawing near when hope feels thin and understanding incomplete. He explores how Jesus is first recognized not by dramatic signs, but by presence—walking, listening, sharing the journey—until he sits with them, shows them His hands, and even eats fish, showing a love that is real, embodied, and near. What appears ordinary slowly becomes holy as their eyes are opened to the truth that the stranger is the Lord.
