In this third and final episode explaining the different parts of the holy sacrifice of the Catholic Mass, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, concludes the Liturgy of the Eucharist with the distribution of Holy Communion, the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the sending forth of the faithful to share the abundance of graces received in the Mass.

On this great solemnity, Fr. Chris reflects on the mystery at the heart of the Marian Fathers’ charism: the Immaculate Conception—God’s greatest act of mercy ever given to a creature. Despite the grief of losing his father just days earlier, he reminds us that Our Lady’s purity is the blueprint for our own path to holiness. Long before the dogma was defined in 1854, the Church cherished this truth in Scripture and Sacred Tradition, seen in Gabriel’s greeting, “Hail, full of grace,” revealing Mary as wholly transformed by divine life.

Throughout history, God has reached out to His people in remarkable ways, calling hearts back to Him through signs, wonders, and Marian apparitions. One such place is Medjugorje, where many have experienced a deep renewal of faith through the messages of Our Lady. Father Jason Lewis, MIC, shares his faith journey and why Medjugorje holds a special place in his heart. Then meet a young man who expresses his Catholic faith through sacred art, using his gifts to glorify God and uplift others.
