Many people have heard the term “rapture” in sermons, books, and movies. This so-called Rapture is often portrayed, especially by Protestants, as a moment when faithful Christians suddenly disappear from earth and are taken up into Heaven, while the rest of the world is left behind to face a time of terrible tribulation.But what does the Bible and the Catholic Church really teach about this? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

February 5 is the feast day of St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr. She's one of the many incredible saints in the early history of the Catholic Church, invoked in the First Eucharistic Prayer along with Saints Felicity, Perpetua, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, and Anastasia.Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains why St. Agatha merits this great honor, and why she is the patron saint of so many different people, from martyrs, breast cancer patients, bellmakers, and bakers to fire and earthquake victims.

Hear Fr. Chris Alar tell the amazing story of JPII and Ronald Reagan and what world-changing event happened in 1981 that changed the course of history. You will never see these two men the same way again after hearing about their God-given mission.
