St. Anthony's Tongue

In this Palm Sunday Mass Prep, we reflect on the mysticism of Matthew 21 and the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem.
Why do we welcome Jesus… and still struggle to recognize Him?
Why does God come gently when we expect power?
And what does it mean to lay something down before we understand where He is leading us?
This reflection is an invitation to enter Holy Week not with performance, but with awareness — allowing our souls to walk with Christ through the movement of surrender, confusion, and ultimately, resurrection.
Peace be with you and with your spirit.

I’ve always struggled a bit with the Luminous Mysteries, so this episode is more me working through them with you than teaching at you.We walk through how these mysteries form the soul — from being claimed by God, to learning trust, to living it out, to glimpses of glory, and finally union in the Eucharist.With insights from St. Francis de Sales and St. Faustina Kowalska.

In this episode we enter the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary through a mystical and psychological lens.
The Passion of Christ is not only something that happened to Jesus — it also mirrors the transformation journey of the soul. We reflect on stages like dryness in prayer, purification, humiliation, perseverance, and total self-gift, with wisdom from St. Teresa of Ávila and St. Catherine of Siena.
This reflection is meant to help you enter deeper meditation during the rosary and recognize how God is working in your own spiritual life.

In this episode we explore how to truly meditate on the Rosary through the lens of the Catholic mystics. Particularly, St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Lisieux. The Joyful Mysteries are not just peaceful scenes — they reveal trust, perseverance, and small acts of faith that lead from darkness into joy.Please join my Patreon and Substack to get notified when the written portion of these are available:Patreon.com/AnthonysTonguestanthonystongue.substack.com

In John 11, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead — but Lazarus comes out of the tomb still wrapped in burial cloths. Still alive… but not yet free.
In this Mass Prep reflection, we explore the mysticism of Lazarus, divine delay, spiritual resurrection, and the slow process of being “unbound” after grace touches our lives.
