With war waging in Europe between Russia and Ukraine, and in the Holy Land between Israel and Hamas, the evils of war are all around us. But war seems to go against Christianity and the Fifth Commandment, “Thou shall not kill.” Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains whether war can ever be justified in the eyes of the Church. Then hear the amazing story of Robert Gannon, who experienced the traumas and tragedies of war, but also the difficulty of living at home before and after.

We have all heard of Joan of Arc, but do we know the truth about her? What did she do and why was she so controversial? Who killed her and why? And what did she stand for, was she a hero or heritic? Hear Fr. Chris Alar as he separates fact from fiction, truth vs. legend of this saint.

The feeling of spiritual emptiness, of being abandoned by God, is surprisingly a part of spiritual growth. Every Christian on their way to God must pass through their own Dark Night, as St. John of the Cross described and Mother Teresa famously experienced. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear Dr. Bryan Thatcher, founder of Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy, share his story. He was lost at one point, but in surrendering to Divine Mercy, he saved his own son, as well as countless lives all over the world.
