St. Anthony & Our Lady of Fatima

As followers of the Lord  we are challenged by the well worn path of discipleship. We bear every failure and rejoice in every success.      ~ Fr. Matt

Thomas’ proclamation compels us to go forth to attend and heal the wounds of the Body of Christ, the Church.      ~ Fr. Matt                     

Knowledge of the resurrection of Jesus only leads us to the precipice of understanding eternal life. We have to make a leap of faith. A personal commitment to Jesus Christ leads to forgiveness and salvation.       ~ Fr. Matt

Luke portrays Jesus’ death as he was in life; in deep communion with the Father, forgiving and healing, and willing to give his life in atonement for others.  Jesus is an innocent martyr via the lips of Pilate, the criminal alongside him, and the Centurion.      ~ Fr. Matt
