In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar presents our itinerary, covering Bethlehem, Nazareth, Mount Tabor, the Sea of Galilee, and Jerusalem. Alongside Jacoub Khaled, CEO of Nativity Pilgrimage, and top Christian guides living in the Holy Land, we explore the locations where Gospel events took place, using cultural, archaeological, and historical evidence to guide our footsteps. This series is made for everyone, from the confident believer to the curious skeptic, offering a basic yet profound understanding of the mystery of His divine and human natures as the Messiah and Son of God.

To exercise true freedom, you have to be able to say yes and no to both the bad and the good, not just to what is sinful. When you fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, you are being obedient to the Church and share in the sacrifice of Christ. In fact, some demons can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

Since every single grace comes from prayer, we need to make it part of our busy lives. Father Chris suggests the four best times for prayer: when we wake up, at meals, when receiving the Sacraments, and before we go to sleep.
