St. Augustine, the City of God & the Reality of Evil | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC
Join Fr. Chris Alar for a powerful teaching On the Feast of St. Augustine, Fr. Chris reflects on the extraordinary life and teachings of this great Doctor of the Church. St. Augustine was a Roman living in North Africa during the decline of the Roman Empire—a turbulent period that inspired some of his most important writings.
Discover the significance of St. Augustine’s City of God, his insights into the Church and the struggle between good and evil, and the question: Is evil a real thing?
We also reflect on the remarkable moment that helped change Augustine’s life when he heard the words: “Take and read.”
St. Augustine, pray for us.

Even going back to the Old Testament, the people of God have always had priests to mediate between them and God; to offer sacrifices in expiation for the sin of the people. Did the role of the priest change in the New Testament? And if so, how? Hear Fr. Chris discuss the priesthood and interview Mark Wahlberg about his new movie, Father Stu.

Father Chris, MIC leads us into the hidden strength and obedience of Saint Joseph—a man whose silence speaks louder than words. While Mary’s fiat is rightly celebrated, salvation history also depended on Joseph’s quiet “yes.” Without it, Jesus would not have had the legal lineage of David, nor the protection and provision of a faithful earthly father.
