On Aug. 14, we celebrate the feast of one of the greatest Marian saints in the history of the Catholic Church: St. Maximilian Kolbe. He was killed at Auschwitz when he volunteered to take the place of one man, a husband and a father, who had been chosen for execution. Father Donald Calloway, MIC, shares the story of this remarkable saint, a Martyr of Charity and a Knight of the Holy Rosary. Then hear the story of Redbird Ministries, a grief support group that provides healing to those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

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 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!

St. Therese of Lisieux

Why is St. Therese of Lisieux considered one of the most beloved modern-day saints? Fr. Chris Alar explains how, like most of us, she could not do extraordinary deeds so she found a new way. This new "little way" is the quickest way to become a saint and get to heaven.

Discerning God's Will

One of the most common questions people of faith ask is, "How do I know I'm doing the will of God?" Sometimes it may seem difficult to know what God wants for us. Father Chris Alar, MIC, reveals that the answer is actually not difficult: We know from Scripture the great commandments are to love God and to love our neighbor, but these can be expanded to teach us about God's will.

Catholics vs. Protestants

“Catholics are not Christians.” Many evangelical Protestants and so-called non-denominational Christians frequently make this statement. This claim, of course, is false: Catholics are the original Christians! Father Chris Alar, MIC, explores the origins of this untruth. Then hear about a group of Catholics in Michigan who were inspired to create the “Trinity Trail of Saints,” a beautiful outdoor devotion.
