Click for More

A popular spirituality within the Catholic Church is Ignatian Spirituality, based on the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, whose feast day is July 31. coming up. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, explains the benefits of the “Spiritual Exercises,” recognizing the Spirit that is poured into our hearts through faith in Jesus Christ, impels us forward, and never leaves us idle or alone. Then hear the story of Don O'Mara, who, through a Cursillo retreat, examined his conscience and, like St. Ignatius, converted from a life of despair and sin to one of promise and hope.

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 EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST.  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!

The Feast of the Holy Innocents is celebrated on Dec. 28, within the Octave of Christmas, which lasts from Christmas Day to January 1. The liturgy that day reflects both sorrow for the deaths of the infant boys who were killed by King Herod, but also the joy they share in the glory of Christ's victory over evil. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

Spiritual Works of Mercy

Performing works of mercy here on earth is essential to our eternal happiness but sometimes we make the excuses of not having the time, talent or resources to perform such works. But, Jesus told St. Faustina “for the many souls who are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out and act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of of every soul.” In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, discusses the spiritual works of mercy and how we can best accomplish them.

Mary, Mother of God

January 1 is not just New Year’s Day; it’s also the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, a Holy Day of Obligation.
