Suffering is not proof that God has abandoned a person or family. Through the testimony of his sister's death and his mission in Rwanda, Fr Antony reflects on how Christ can turn tragedy into commissioning, family pain into intercession and a wounded past into a new beginning.

When Evil Attacks, God Remains Faithful

No Christian is immune from temptation or spiritual attack, but human weakness does not cancel the faithfulness of God. Fr Antony reflects on Saint Peter's fall and restoration, the spiritual protection of marriage and family, and the call to imitate Christ's self-giving love.
