In this special talk, Fr. Chris shares the message and devotion that has touched countless souls throughout the world, helping us to rediscover the unfathomable mercy of God revealed in Jesus Christ. If you’ve ever wondered how Divine Mercy connects with your daily life and the hope it offers in times of suffering, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.

In Divine Mercy, God gave us a blueprint to get to Heaven. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains the ABCs: Ask for God’s Mercy, Be Merciful to Each Other, and Completely Trust in God’s Mercy.

On this feast of St. Padre Pio, the Church reminds us of one of the most beloved saints of modern times, a humble Capuchin friar marked by extraordinary gifts, suffering, and faith. Fr. Chris Alar reflects on today’s Gospel (Luke 8:19–21), where Jesus tells us that His true family are those who “hear the word of God and act on it.” Few lived this more radically than Padre Pio.
