In his most detailed talk yet about Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Chris Alar explains how to get the grace promised by Jesus and explains why this is not optional. While the theology is deep, Fr. Chris makes it easy to understand.
Fr. Chris Alar summarizes  the stories of Our Lady of Knock and Our Lady of Pontmain, two extremely important, but lesser known Marian apparitions,  which occurred in France and Ireland.

Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34). Many hear these words and recoil — how could the Prince of Peace bring division? Yet, as Fr. Chris Alar explains in today’s Daily Homily, this “sword” is the truth that cuts through the lies we cling to. It divides not because Christ desires conflict, but because truth exposes falsehood.
