Father Anthony implores us to be bold in our prayers with God as it is His desire is to show us great mercy.

Jesus said we must “pray always without becoming weary” (Lk 18:1). But how can we truly pray without ceasing? The answer lies in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the most perfect and continuous prayer on earth. At every moment of every day, somewhere in the world, the Mass is being offered. Humanity never ceases to pray because the Church never ceases to worship.

In today’s homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer reflects on one of the most powerful prayers ever uttered: “O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” These few words reveal the essence of the Gospel — the cry of a heart that finally recognizes its total dependence on God’s mercy. True humility is not self-hatred but truth before God. When we admit that we cannot save ourselves, we open the floodgates of divine mercy.
