Many people, even Catholics, have embraced the myth that Galileo Galilei, the astronomer who discovered the sun is the center of the solar system, was thrown in a dungeon and tortured until he recanted because it conflicted with Catholic teaching. Father Chris Alar, MIC, exposes this fabrication and reveals what really happened. Then hear the story of Paul Zucarelli, whose near-death experience is a remarkable example of how divine grace can transform a life and bring an entire family back to the heart of the Church.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
