Father Anthony uses the story of Abraham’s obedience to God to encourage us to have faith in God’s plan when he is calling us out of our comfort zones.

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.

Father Anthony encourages us to give up our idols and abandon our sins, allowing ourselves to turn toward God for forgiveness.
