Father Wilson reflects on the humility of the tax collector and the quiet wisdom of the Church that often takes a lifetime to discover. Drawing from his own journey as a “slow learner,” Father Wilson explores how the Stations of the Cross invite us to see our daily struggles in light of Christ’s sacrifice.
Through the words of Saint Paul — “I am already being poured out like a libation” — he reminds us that every challenge, sorrow, and offering can be united with Christ’s perfect offering on the Cross. The message is both tender and profound: to live our lives as an offering, to finish the race, and to keep the faith.
