We hear a lot these days about “Generational Healing” and “Healing the Family Tree.” No Magisterial document of the Catholic Church promotes this concept. Does that mean we have to reject it, or can it help us in our family struggles? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear the story of Sheila Terry and the Franciscan Friars of the Gila River Indian Reservation Segment in Arizona, which shows how healing is God's desire for us.

In today’s homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on the genealogy that opens the Gospel of Matthew — a passage we often rush past, yet one filled with profound hope. “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Mt 1:1; NABRE) is not merely a list of names. It is the story of salvation unfolding through real people, real families, and real brokenness.

The 10 Commandments are recognized as a moral foundation by Judaism, Christianity, and even Islam, because they are based on the natural law. And they are just as relevant today as they were when they were written by the hand of God. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, for this discussion of the Ten Commandments and how to use them to perform a thorough examen of conscience before the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Featuring an inspiring story of St. Michael Indian School where God’s teaching is passed on to children of the Navajo nation.
