Sacrifice for Our Sins
Father Anthony reflects on Romans 5:6–11 — the staggering truth that Christ died for us “while we were still sinners,” revealing a love that does not wait for us to improve, earn, or deserve it, but rushes toward us in our weakness to reconcile us to the Father, inviting us to lay down shame and fear, trust in the mercy won by His Blood, and rejoice in the hope that we are no longer enemies, but beloved friends of God.
