Sanctify Yourself, and the Lord Will Do Wonders

God does not speak first to the person who is absent, but to the person who is present. Before asking Him to change others, we must allow His Word to sanctify our own hearts and prepare the way for His wonders.

Bless Your Marriage: Prayer Holds a Family Together

Marriage is a sacred vocation that needs more than affection and human effort. Fr Antony reflects on praying a blessing over one's spouse, guarding the family as a foundation, seeking personal conversion and inviting the Holy Spirit to sustain what human strength cannot hold together.

Let Your Sins Melt Away: Everything Is Grace

We cannot overcome sin by talent or moral effort alone; everything is grace. Fr Antony reflects on the concrete works through which grace reshapes a life: caring for parents, bringing souls back to God, worshipping, helping the poor, praying for the departed and making almsgiving a way of life.

When Tragedy Becomes a Mission

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.

The Eucharist Is Preparing You for Eternal Life

Fr Michael Payyapilly VC reflects on the Holy Eucharist as Christ’s gift for the Christian journey towards eternal life. Moving from COVID-era livestreams and striking experiences during Mass to John 6 and the doctrine of transubstantiation, he explains why the Eucharist is more than habit, obligation or fellowship: in Holy Communion we receive Jesus Himself and are gradually conformed to Him.
