Of the 45,000 different Christian denominations in the world, what makes the Catholic and Orthodox Churches different from all the others? Only those churches have all the Sacraments. In a preview of his new book, Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed! from Marian Press, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains that the Sacraments are the only guaranteed way that we receive grace that is needed for salvation. Then learn about the Heart of Mary Hospice and witness how the Sacraments and the Church’s mission of mercy find profound expression in this sacred ministry.

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 Thursday at 10 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!
